First off, get up and running. Nobody in their right mind is going to service a webzine-to-be.
So get up and running. do some interviews with indie bands you contact yourself, review CDs you already have to get some content.
Then, email labels. Bigger labels will list separate contacts for promotion, but smaller labels, just go through the mail email address.... announce who you are, that you'd like to be serviced, they'll likely take a look around and make their decision from there.

Why would I want to rephrase? I'm a pervert.
