Unexpected Frequency covers live music and recorded releases across all genres. If you think your music fits, we want to hear from you.

What We Cover

We write about live shows (concert reviews, festival coverage) and recorded music (albums, EPs, singles). Our audience skews toward adventurous listeners who don't stay in one genre box.

We're based in the SF Bay Area but cover artists from everywhere. Great live storytelling is our priority — if you're touring the Bay, reach out.

Rock & Indie

Jazz & Blues

Electronic & Experimental

Folk & Singer-Songwriter

Hip-Hop & R&B

Metal & Post-Rock

Classical & Ambient

World Music

Guidelines

Include a brief bio, genre tags, and a direct streaming link (Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud)
For live show coverage: let us know your upcoming Bay Area dates at least 2 weeks in advance
For recorded music: share a download link or press kit if available
We cover debut artists and established acts equally — sound over status
We don't guarantee reviews for every submission, but we listen to everything
