P-ARGH! – A Press Release Too Far?

godisinthetv [Edit] [Delete] 3 replies 16:47, 7 October '11

Obviously all musicians want to generate attention for themselves, but with companies charging artists for their PR services are a lot of young, perhaps naive, people finding themselves duped into something that could ultimately do more harm to their popularity than good? Is there actually such a thing as bad publicity? Has anyone out there paid for PR and been utterly fleeced?

Let us know in the comments below!

  • once, a PR agent for a band I sorta knew, sent me multiple releases regarding their upcoming single

    where he repeatedly said the single was produced by someone who had worked with Enter Shakira.
