I've had luck with local music bloggers, and I've even become pretty good friends with one. You and I live in different areas, so obviously my connects wouldn't help you much. But check around your city and find out who's doing write-ups on local music. Getting that type of attention first might make other bloggers more willing to check out your stuff.
 
The local places mostly are just covering live stuff around here. And the live bands' album releases, they don't seem much interested in other stuff.
 
It's probably malapros to just post people's contact info, but if I happen to have LINKs to a bunch of press my band has gotten... :D

So this represents our vocalist gathering two or three master lists of blog/review sites from fellow musicians and compiling his own from Google searches. Plus a couple hundred man-hours spent emailing every single one of them. Plus, having pretty close relationships with at least two of them (which are the ones that have reviewed/interviewed us multiple times.)

But there should be public submission fields somewhere on all of those sites. I'll hold off on posting the sites that didn't respond to us. :D
 
VH Steve thanks for that list. I had started sifting through the google lists yesterday. Any place that doesn't have an 'official here's how to submit music' link I've bypassed, but it still requires time to check out each place to see if they specialize in a particular type of music.

CD Reviews | The Noise

The Noise just went paperless, which doesn't bode well for them. I know (and have shared gigs/stage time) with T Max, the publisher/head cook/bottlewasher. Submissions are by hard copy CD only, and the readership is mostly musicians.

They just reviewed my old noise band's Bandcamp "album", weirdly about 7 years after we made it and 2 after it's "release", and as far as I know nobody ever submitted it.

They may have dug up an old review to fill space, but someone must have sent them a copy!
