My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Submission Guidelines:
COMA only does in-person video interviews. If you are going to be in the Tampa Bay, FL area and wish to be interviewed by COMA please do the following. We like to do as much research as possible for interviews so if you wish to be interviewed please send us links of as much press on your band as possible. Also be sure to send links to your bio and any videos and music you have online.
If you would like us to review your CD/Single/DVD please contact us if you would like to Snail Mail them. If it is a CD or single, we don't mind reviewing from MP3. The only difference in the review will be that there will be no mention of how good or bad your packaging and artwork may be. DVDs must be sent hard copy as they are so large and re-encoding them will likely bring down the quality and skew the review.
We are also seeking a couple additional people to do promotion, news, concert and CD reviews for COMA. If interested please visit http://coma-online.com/join.php
