Continental Touring plans some of the BEST metal tours that have come through North America in recent years. We are absolutely delighted to share this conversation we had with co-founder and Senior Booking Agent Stephan. Buckle up bookers!

We talked about how the company started, and some deep insights into the thinking behind tour packages. We also discuss some of the complications involved with booking, and why your band may not be hearing back from booking agencies. Stephan has some very valuable gems of wisdom in here for bands wanting to know how to grow their bands to the next level.

We all want positive reviews of our music, but what else is there? We had our friend Natasha Gorey back to chat about less conventional promotional outlets.

Take a listen and get a better picture of what a PR campaign can look like with all the media outlets today.
