For Bands & Labels: How To Add a Band

1. Login to MusicHawk

2. Search for your band by typing the name of your band into the search box

3. If your band is not in our system... Look for the "Add it!" button and click it (real good like)

4. Fill out the Add a Band form and click "Submit"

5. Wait for your new "band add" to be accepted and published by the MusicHawk team. The new band ad acceptance period can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks depending on timing and volume.  Sometimes, we get swamped with new band adds so if you are in a hurry then catch us on AIM/iChat @ musichawktalk . Especially, if you are trying to claim a band page catch us on IM and we'll try to do it right away.

Tips
- We highly suggest asking one of your fans to add your band. Yes, "technically" you can add your own band but it's smarter marketing to ask one of your fans to do it so they can get the credit for discovering you. For example, a fan named keven will get the credit for discovering Birdmonster.
