Issue #17 will be out January/February 2010 and will feature interviews and tons of CD and DVD reviews. As always, this issue will also include an exclusive CD sampler with cuts from many great surf, garage, lounge and rockabilly combos!

If you are in a band or run a label that produces surf, instro, garage, rockabilly or exotic music, you can have your song on the next Continental Magazine CD for only $75 per song. In exchange you will receive:

♦ 12 copies of the finished magazine with CD (these retail for $5.95, so if you sell all 12 magazines you will make $71.40).
♦ 1 half page advertisement in the upcoming issue (measuring (5.0 inches wide x 4.0 inches tall)

If you have sent a CD for review in the last 6 months I probably have your CD and can just take a song from it. If not, then you to send a CD or CD-R with the track or tracks you’d like to submit. Payment can be sent with your CD (cash/check/money order), or you can send a Paypal payment for $75 to: records@dblcrown.com

This is only available for songs that are surf, instro, garage, rockabilly or exotic music. There are probably some songs that are outside these genres that will be acceptable too. However, I don’t want songs that are obviously outside these genres – no techno, modern/alternative rock, modern country, folk, classical, etc.

If you would like to send music for review in The Continental, please get it to us by September 15th, 2009.
