There are a couple of options.  You can try to join the union, it is a great resource for companies that can help you submit music for various movies.  I work for a PR firm that reps a few people that have had their music placed in movies and TV shows. Its more of a "who you know" game. Because of the PR firms founders connections, we were able to get our clients on shows like 90201, Valentine and some Lucas film projects. When your connected, its still a little challenging to get the track picked, but the most important thing is getting someone of power to listen to it.  I had one project where we submitted a song for a movie with Denzel, the song was rejected, however when the music director was working on another project, he remembered the group and called us up for another track.  That track made it to the other project.   Start networking and be cautious of people who claim to be in charge of something. There are a "ton" of middle (wo)men who never get your music in the right hands. Make sure you are dealing with the decision makers in the industry or hire someone who has those connections to do the foot work for you.

You gotta make a lot of copies and send it to labels. My opinion stick with small labels, like dinosuar fight records, that would be your best chance.

Definitely check out Purevolume.com.  I think Purevolume is probably the most popular site for bands to put up music for download and streaming, at the moment.  If you have a heavy band, then perhaps check out hxcmp3.com.  They get quite a bit of hits, as well.  Both are pretty legit sites, from what I have seen from using their services.\nMajor record labels never want unpublished material submitted to them independently, of your own accord.  The larger labels usually want a manager or a lawyer to submit your music for you.  Some independent and underground labels, though, are sometimes cool about receiving demos and such.  However, keep in mind that they probably get hundreds or thousands of submissions.  Many "smaller" labels do not accept unsolicited demos, like Lookout Records.\nOne way would be to get friendly with a band you really like, and hand them a demo and ask them to listen to it.  Or, you can "accidentally" leave it for them.  Numerous bands have been signed this way, rare as it may seem to happen.  Check out different independent record label sites; each label usually has their own submission requirements.  You can always release your own album, DIY.  That is always impressive.\n\nHere's some smaller labels you can look at:\n-5RC: www.5rc.com\n-Panic Button Records: www.panicbuttonrecords.net\n-Temporary Residence Limited: www.temporaryresidence.com

Here is an idea that you can try:\n\nActually you could be your own Music Store/Album Label.\n\nGet yourself a website (I do design them by the way) and then host music from your local bands in the area.  Let the PEOPLE decide who is good, not some hollywood executive.\n\nThen let it grow!\n\nHolla!

Try Ticketmaster, and then either search by artist or under the category: New Age or Spiritual.  (Unfortunately, they're grouped together.)
