Wampus Multimedia is seeking submissions from new artists in all genres.
Wampus is an indie label run by artists, for artists. In a marketplace driven increasingly by the lowest common denominator, Wampus develops artists who put originality and dedication to their craft above all. It creates an environment where those artists can promote their work as more than just a fringe presence in the music industry.
Most talented artists are "on the outside looking in," writing and performing in a commercial vacuum. All the great songs and choice bookings in the world will not necessarily bring them to the attention of a broader audience. Beyond chops and material, successful artists need access to promotion and marketing. Otherwise their music, no matter how appealing, will languish in obscurity. Through its relationships with the best publicists in indie music, and its recent purchase of LocalMusicStore.com, Wampus reaches the indie media and fans who matter most to emerging artists. Making a record is an artistic endeavor, but releasing it is a commercial one. Don't be fooled by the predatory hype and glitz around conventional record deals. Wampus artists maintain creative control of their work and play an active role in how it is presented to the public. They work not for the label, but with it. Wampus approaches its artist agreements in the only way that makes sense -- as partnerships. Interested? Visit
