Another tip for bands ...

And this one is pretty simple, although it's related to the one I put up here about a year ago: photos from MySpace are not high resolution enough for newspapers and/or magazines to print, generally. The biggest favor you can do yourself as a band-- with regard to getting press-- is have a decent picture of yourselves taken and have it easily available online and at least 1800 x 1200 pixels. It's really a no-brainer, because an article with a banging picture is way way better than one with an ad hoc solution.
