Founded in 2004, Crash Avenue Publicity is a boutique music and lifestyle PR firm focusing on music and media considered independent of the mainstream. Over the past 4 years Crash Avenue Publicity has emerged as a committed workhorse representing artists to writers, editors, and new media tastemakers throughout North America. More recently, Crash Avenue Publicity has plunged further into the independent culture giving media relations and branding support to fringe organizations like our current clients Terrastock 7 and the 2008 Forecastle Festival.
Our PR efforts focus on traditional press and new media opportunities targeted by servicing albums, mp3s, mpegs, and press releases to secure features, interviews, reviews, previews, and various other articles centered around the artist’s album release and/or touring schedule. By servicing influential music publications, daily newspapers, alternative publications, and new media outlets throughout North America and Western Europe, Crash Avenue Publicity ensures the artists’ campaigns are efficient and effective.
Past clients have received coverage within publications like Paste, Harp, Magnet, The Onion, Spin, Village Voice, Resonance, No Depression, among many others.
Our latest Independent Culture and Lifestyle Media Relations offers our fringe organizations exposure in media and venues that are focused on the interests, attitudes, opinions, and way of life of independent culture. PR targeting the fringe and alternative media along, with other tastemakers within the culture, tactically generates targeted exposure for the organization.

NEW AT CRASH AVENUE PUBLICITY... DIY60!
DIY60 is something new at Crash Avenue Publicity. The concept is putting the power of expert research and guidance into an easily accessible package of contacts for the artist just beginning their career or reaching out beyond their local market. A hand-selected group of media contacts, that will allow the artist an opportunity to acquire a foundational level of press, is invaluable in kick-starting a career. Artists that have a introduction to their story need the tools to build a more substantial tale, that is the need DIY60 fulfills.
The concept of DIY60 is simple. The artist orders a specially selected list of 60 media contacts based on the genre, region, and exposure desired by the artist. The artist is then delivered the 60 contacts that they can solicit for editorial coverage regarding their current release or artistic endeavor. These media contacts will be foundational level media outlets, not writers from Spin or Rolling Stone, to ensure the success of the artist's promotional campaign.
DIY60 is a simple and affordable way to take the first step in exposing an artist to a larger audience by putting the knowledge and experience in the hands of the driven artist.
