2. If your band is based in one of the regions we cover through our dedicated web pages, the form will also submit your music to our regional editors for possible coverage on our local scenes' blogs.

This submission will also sign you up for The Deli's mailing list, which will inform you about opportunities to play at music fests (including big industry events in NYC and Austin) and also to win audio equipment through our giveaways.
