SPIN is 40 years of music culture authority
SPIN, founded in 1985 and continuously publishing for four decades, is a legacy name in music journalism. Its coverage spans rock, alternative, hip-hop, indie and dance, with the kind of cultural breadth that speaks to a broader music fan than a strict critics-only outlet. A SPIN placement lands a recognisable, credible masthead on your artist bio, EPK and one-sheet, and reaches an audience that grew up trusting SPIN and still checks it for what to listen to next.

What our clients say
"The SPIN feature reset how the industry saw the project. Agents and label reps who had been slow to respond opened conversations in the week after the piece went live."
"SPIN is the credential rock and hip-hop fans instantly recognise. Streaming numbers moved noticeably in the days after the article, and our monthly listener count climbed with them."
"A SPIN feature put us in front of partners we could not reach cold. The article has paid for itself many times over in touring, licensing and sync revenue."

What clients ask before booking
Is this a real SPIN editorial placement, not sponsored content?
Yes. It is a genuine authored editorial placement, written by a journalist and published under a real byline on a SPIN editorial property. No "Sponsored", "Partner content" or "Paid" tag on the live piece.
Do I need to be releasing music right now to be featured?
Not always. SPIN covers artists, labels, festivals, live music, industry moves and cultural stories. Artists, labels, music tech companies, streaming platforms, festivals, managers and publicists can all appear when the story fits SPIN's editorial focus.
Which SPIN section will my article appear in?
The section is matched to your story angle: News for releases and industry moves, Features for interviews and profiles, Music for reviews and coverage, Culture for broader cultural stories. We recommend the best fit and confirm the target section in your agreement before any writing begins.
How long until my SPIN placement is live?
Most SPIN placements publish within 2 to 6 weeks of sign-up, depending on the story angle and SPIN's editorial calendar. Festival seasons and major release windows can shift timing. Rush timelines are often available. Every timeline is confirmed in your agreement before you pay.
What if the placement does not publish?
You receive a full refund. The money-back guarantee is written into your client agreement. This is why 3,548 clients across 37 countries trust Baden Bower with their PR.
Can I use the SPIN logo on my website and EPK afterwards?
Yes. Every Baden Bower client receives a downloadable SPIN press logo, an as-featured-in kit, and the live URL. You can use them on your website, artist bio, EPK (electronic press kit), one-sheets, booking outreach, LinkedIn, and paid advertising, subject to standard as-featured-in trademark usage.
Does a SPIN placement qualify as evidence for an O-1 or EB-1A visa?
Yes. SPIN is recognised by USCIS adjudicators as major media within its industry vertical, and authored editorial coverage in SPIN qualifies as published material about the applicant relating to their work, particularly for musicians and industry professionals. Learn more about visa publicity packages.
How is a SPIN placement priced?
SPIN placement is a one-time flat fee covering the full authored editorial placement, guaranteed publication, live URL, and downloadable press logo. Every purchase is backed by our money-back guarantee, written into your client agreement.
