Hey all! Time for some housekeeping.

First up: Are you in a Chicago band? Have a friend in a Chicago band? Do you or they want/need press? We’re asking local (local = Chicago and the surrounding areas) bands to send in their album to Loud Loop Press for a review! Please send any albums for review to:

or e-mail digital copies to loudlooppress@gmail.com.

Also, we’re not just asking for your new, garageband produced record. Have any news? Did your band make a new video? Is your song going to be featured on the next episode of Gossip Girls? Did your tour van break down and you were attacked by Zombies?

Send up a news tip, also at loudlooppress@gmail.com.

Finally, we are in need of a couple more dedicated contributors. We’re really looking for those in touch with Chicago’s local scene and someone to become our go to Hip-hop writer. If you think you have what it takes, once again, shoot us an e-mail at loudlooppress@gmail.com. Writing experience a major plus.

Thanks!
