NAIL is always looking for new powerhouse labels to add to our roster. We primarily work with labels that include no fewer than 5 artists and/or 10 titles and are seeking North American distribution through independent retailers, chains and one-stops. We are seeking labels that focus in the following genres: Indie rock, indie pop, electronic, punk, alternative rock, avant-jazz, vintage funk & soul, classic punk, experimental, evil metal, sweater-core, strumpet core, hardcore, emo and just about any other edgy genre that has college radio and rock mag appeal.

If you are an individual artist or a label that does not meet the above criteria, please go to our label links page to contact some of our currently distributed labels that may be a suitable fit for your titles/music. You might also try contacting one of the many regional distributors around the country.

Hot tip of the day: Don’t even bother trying to find a distributor until you have some kind of prior and impressive sales history to dangle. Build a story - we will find you! However, if you are an established label that does meet the above criteria, please send a comprehensive catalog, sample CDs and a letter requesting distribution to:

Please be sure to include your contact information: phone, fax and email. Submissions that do not include contact information will not be considered. Please send in your submission prior to calling NAIL.

*Note: All submissions received become property of NAIL. We get lots them and cannot return them after review.
