I am Gray Matterson, guitarist and leader of the Crawling King Snakes. What determines if I get a complimentary copy or not?
People who receive free complimentary copies are: Labels who send us releases every issue with regularity, artists who we have covered in our feature section, other publications we trade with, and merchants, labels, and artists who advertise in any particular issue. If you are an independant artist and have sent us a release which has been reviewed in some particular issue, you will receive either a full copy of that issue or a tear sheet with the review on it (to date we have only sent full magazines, no tear sheets, but a time may come…). If you are an artist on a label that sent us a promo of your disc, the label will receive a complimentary copy of Expos; If you would still like a copy of the Issue with the review in it, you may purchase a copy. We can also send an “electronic tear sheet” of the review by email.
