The team at Quite Great PR help unsigned musicians & artists from across the globe market and promote their music in the UK by offering a structured release pattern for artists to gain media coverage.
Every day we are talking to acts and diagnosing their background, the stories that emanate from their music, their lyrics, and searching for that eureka moment when you discover something that compliments the band’s music and allows you to hit the media hard with both great music and a great story hook.
What follows is a simple guide to how we help unsigned artists both in the UK and across the world in the early stages of their careers to gain traction in line with a budget they can afford. For many years we have helped bands grow as well as working with major labels such as Sony, Warners, Universal etc. on a wide range of artists encompassing all musical style from metal to folk and jazz to pop, this means that we have a diverse range of contacts covering all media areas and with our development patterns you get a series of individual team members working alongside you.
Please look at our websites for full information on our Client and Project History.
We love working with all music genres that is one of our strengths so whether you are a legend, signed or unsigned or an independent artist, contact us today.
The structure of the campaign is aimed at artists and bands that are building their brand and need experts to spark the interest of the media. We allow the artist to develop with a series of releases when required or a one off to test the water if that is what you feel fits, in line with a budget that works for you and allows you to look to the future budgeting within either agreed release periods or month by month.
The story of The Pocket Gods and their fight for fair pay from music streaming services like Spotify is a powerful reminder of the challenges facing unsigned musicians today. Their creative approach of releasing 1,000-track albums of 30-second songs to maximize royalty payments is both inspiring and sobering, highlighting the harsh reality of the current streaming landscape for independent artists.
As a music PR company, we are proud to support The Pocket Gods and their mission to bring greater fairness to the music industry. Our work with them has been featured in several top publications, including Music-News, Tinnitist, NME, GB News, Hotpress & many more as we strive to amplify their message and raise awareness of the challenges facing unsigned musicians. We believe that every artist deserves to be fairly compensated for their work, and we are committed to using our expertise and resources to help bring about positive change in the industry.
‘Alleged low rates from streaming platforms is yet another challenge on top of already increasing costs.’
Streaming platforms have come under scrutiny from artists who say their royalty rates aren’t good enough.

‘Inspired The 30 Second Song Movie’ is a must-watch for documentary fans and for viewers passionate about the music industry. The film focuses on the journey of one band, ‘The Pocket Gods’ on a mission to challenge Spotify’s broken streaming system. Directed by the Frontman Mark Lee, himself, he aims to expose the struggles of being an indie band in the age of music streaming.
At Quite Great we work hard to support not only unsigned musicians & artists but also the venues which give you the platform to introduce yourself to the world. We can help you to promote your shows across the media, ensuring GENUINE coverage in local press and online. We feel passionately that the lifeblood of new talent is the ability to perform in their local area and we are proud to be able to support you and your local scene to develop a real fan-base and go from strength to strength.
We call this a DIY label approach; in essence you are signing us for an agreed release term instead of us signing you, with no equity involvement unless this is something we agree upon after a first stage release. With this campaign, you are the boss and you are involved in the decision making process, you help guide the team.
