Submit Your Music to TuneLab

TuneLab now has a dropbox for bands to send us individual music files.  We’re considering doing a few things but haven’t made any final decisions yet.  We’re putting some ideas together, and may be doing either a live radio show or podcast, in which we’d feature the tracks and talk about them.
