Hi, we are really stoked that you like our record label but honestly, answering email all day totally sucks. Please don't write us unless you have to... like, in the off-chance we messed up your order or something. If you want your band to get "signed", seriously DO NOT WRITE. We are not looking for new bands. Not trying to be assholes, as we are fully supportive of new/young bands doing their thing and the excitement that comes with it. We just have our plans all laid out for the next 150 years and aren't looking for new artists. Here's a quick FAQ first too:

Can you tell me when _______ will be released?
Maybe. When we obtain it, all info on our upcoming releases is updated on the discography page.

I ordered the ____ LP and you sent me the CD (and all other mail-order questions):
Please see the contact us / ordering info page on our Online Store for all order-related questions.

My magazine/webzine is already covering one of your bands and I need high-res photos, bios, etc.
Press-related folks, please email press [- at -] roboticempire [- dot -] com

I want a promo CD for my webzine, please send me one/add me to your list:
We don't really have a "list" but please send in samples of your writing work and any/all information about publications / websites your work is featured on (ie, view counts, print numbers, etc). If you cannot provide this info, do not write. If you can, please send this stuff to press [- at -] roboticempire [- dot -] com .

I want a promo CD for my radio show/podcast/whatever:
We don't really service radio. No love lost, we just don't do this.

I want to book one of your bands, can you give me their contact info?
Please refer to the links page for contact info for anyone we're willing/able to give it for.

My store/distro wants to carry your CDs/LPs, and other wholesale questions:
We are currently distributed by Revolver USA / Midheaven Mailorder. If you can't / won't order from them for whatever reason, please write us at mailorder [- at -] roboticempire [- dot -] com ...but honestly, if you can please just get our stuff from them. It'll happen faster, and be much easier on us. Thanks!

I want to pre-order _______ record and/or I get paid Saturday, can you hold something for me?
Sorry, we do not hold records or set them aside for people. Limited vinyl is dished out on a first-come, first-serve basis... so if you're really gung-ho about getting the super-duper limited edition, best to sign up for our mailing list and/or keep an eye on our Online Store.

Do you have a street team?
No, we tried to organize this years ago and it turned into a big mess. Best to let that dog stay sleeping.

Where do I press CDs and vinyl for my band / label / spoken word solo project?
We use Icon Omnimedia for all of our CD jobs, and Pirates Press for all of our vinyl... and highly recommend both! Mammoth Printshop does a killer job with our t-shirts too.

I read all this and you still didn't answer my question:
