Album Press Release Template

Wednesday September 12, 2007
You've recorded an album - or your label is releasing an new album - what are you going to do about it? To get album sales, you need press, and to get press, you need a good press release. Like most other forms of communication in the music industry, press releases are best when they are short, informative, and to the point. Can't quite picture what form your press release should take? This press release template should help.

Now, do keep in mind that all press releases are not created equal, and press releases should take slightly different forms depending on what they are announcing, who is sending out the release, and who is receiving the release. This particular template works best for:
  • announcing a new album or single
  • written by: a band or label
  • written for: print and web based media
More press release templates for different scenarios coming in the following weeks.
