noob question.

How does one get their band(s) listed on this site?

If at least one of your bandmates has a Sabbath number < ∞ (only accounting for releases) it is quite probable it might get here eventually.

The easiest way is to email all the relevant details (band name, title, labels, release date, lineup, cover, any online sources that confirm your info) to the address at the bottom of the page. But you or one of your bandmates will need to already be listed, or have been in a band with someone who is - the whole point is that every band listed here connects to every other band listed.

To extend on that --

If necessary, you can give us info about a chain of releases which eventually get your band(s) in.

For example, let's say your band (1) released an album with membership A, B, C, and D. None of these are currently on the site. However, A was also a member of another band's (2) release with E and F, and C was in a band (3) with G. Sadly, none of those are here either! But G was a member of yet another band (4) alongside someone who's listed here as a member of (for example) Counting Crows.

In this case, what you'd need to submit is:
* A release from band 4 with membership of at least the Counting Crows member and G.
* A release from band 3 with at least G and C.
* A release from band 1 with at least C.

Each of these hooks into the existing database via the previous item.

For each of those releases, supply as much info as you can from what pin_punk listed (and recording dates too if you have them). We'll want to verify the information, so either pointing us at online sources that match or explaining why existing online resources that disagree with your info are mistaken are helpful.

If you get really excited and start wanting to submit lots of releases by different bands, you can eventually gain privileges to submit those to the verification queue directly, as well as verify other people's submissions.

Best wishes!

So, for example:

I was in a band with two guys from the Sick Sick Birds, a (killer) band on this site, in 1999 [www.last.fm] http://www.last.fm/music/Heroin+Addicts/+wiki

Is LastFM good enough? If so I'll start putting together the other info.

Cool, I take it it's Eric & Matt from Sick Sick Birds. I started adding the first release from info here which gives us the cover image and who played on it:
[www.angelfire.com] http://www.angelfire.com/md/heroinaddicts/pictures.html

For that one we'd also like to get:
- Full names of yourself and Jason
- A photo or scan showing how the title is spelled (if there is one), given it's not on the front cover
- Release month or date if known
- Recording year (or months/dates) if known

Similar deal with any other releases. Not seeing them online so need a scan or photo of the front cover, and a confirmation of recording lineup(s). Pics of inserts showing lineup as printed help too. The tape handed out at shows would qualify.

Josh, log out and then log back in. Once you do that, you should be able to access [www.bandtoband.com] http://www.bandtoband.com/index.php?Page=Wiki&amp;ActionField=add and start adding the details that everyone else listed.

Did you know that Mike from Sick Sick Birds used to be a contributor to this site? SSB and my band played together at Sidebar a few years ago.

I used to do sound at the Sidebar. I may have worked that show, depending on how many years it was. Mike told me about this site a while ago, and I'm finally getting around to it.

He's got a new band with the Dead Mechanical guys called Sea Lilies. I expect it to knock socks off.

Sea Lilies: [sealilies.bandcamp.com] https://sealilies.bandcamp.com/album/sea-lilies

I need to get someone to press some records so I can get this release on bandtoband!! Ha.

We add digital releases as well, so I've started entering Sea Lilies under that for now.

Perhaps you can poke Josh or Matt to get us the rest of the details on Heroin Addicts and other related bands. I take it it's the Josh on Facebook who likes the Ramones /a lot/, haha.

I will tell those fellows to get that stuff submitted post haste!

One of these days I need to get the rest of the THumbs records on here.

I got the missing names for the Heroin Addicts entry, so it's patiently waiting to be verified and published.

I have just been poking around again, I have gotten into a few Baltimore (or surrounding areas) bands lately, I'll have to check out these bands you all are talking about.
