Contact Us...!
If you are sending music direct to us then the address is Nordicmusicreview@gmail.com, and here's some guidance below you might, or might not find useful.
1) THANK YOU! Please keep sending stuff through to us and thank you so much for every mail, really.
​
2) You don't have to send much, just a bit of info on what you're releasing, with a link to Soundcloud / Spotify / Bandcamp, plus a Facebook page or something so we can have a look at what you've been up to. Formal Press Releases with everything on them are great but not always essential. Always include the Release Date details so we know what we're working to.
​
3) We do prioritise Albums releases, then EP's whilst good singles generally get added to our Indie Playlist. If your mail is about a release weeks in advance we'll probably use the snooze button on the email to remind us on release date.
​
4) We do listen to everything, but please accept our apologies if we don't get back to you, we simply don't have the capacity to feature everything, and hope you understand. I can't emphasise how bad that makes us feel, because I know how passionately you all care about your music, but the reality is we're a part time music website and we have jobs, families, and some really terrible football teams to support at weekends. Really terrible.
​
5) Just to state the obvious, we really are a Nordic Music site, and would prefer not to have submissions on non Nordic music.
​
6) Thanks for reading! Please send us your music!

The Writers
​Andy founded Nordic Music Review in 2014 with the sole aim of getting Moddi to pay him back the money ‘owed’ for a parking ticket. Born in a house by the sea, just 13 miles away from a small village and next to the middle of nowhere, he spent his formative years drinking flagons of farmyard scrumpy and creating elaborate crop circles, and claims to have appeared as an extra in a Star Wars film, but no-one believes him. His interest in music developed from watching Morris Dancing performances at the annual village Gooseberry Pie Fayre, and then even further after attending a New Years Eve event dressed as Elton John. He now writes music reviews in his spare time, whilst he waits for his own business ‘’designing and building affordable jetpacks’’, to quite literally take-off. He frequently plans to attend gigs, but never quite makes it, and the best time to get his attention is 4.20PM on a Saturday, because by then he’s already abandoned all hope in the football results and is catching up on the NMR inbox instead.
His favourite Nordic Music includes:

About Nordic Music Review
Nordic Music Review was established in 2014 after attending a really lovely gig by Norwegian musician Moddi at the Castle Hotel, Manchester. where he insisted on talking to us for ages after the gig (and definitely not the other way around), and resulting in us getting a parking ticket.
It just seemed that there was such an enormous wealth of Nordic musicians and bands who didn't get too much attention in the UK, and we wanted to do our bit to help change that.
​
Almost 6 years later the World might be somewhat of a darker place, but we're somehow still here, championing in particular Indie musicians who don't get much exposure in bigger magazines and newspapers. Inevitably our initial aims have changed a little, and whilst we still want to give focus in particular to Albums, we do inevitably cover a lot more single releases too - purely because that allows us to cover so many more artists.
​
We have tried to support Nordic artists playing in the UK too, firstly by writing about up and coming gigs, but also helping promote and organising gigs. Whilst some were a spectacular success (those who saw Major Parkinson at the Water Rats will never forget it), there were a couple which were more stressful, and as such we will not be putting any more gigs on directly, but are more than happy to help in any way we can - please just drop us an email.
