http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPK - good place to get started on the principles

Music industry EPK elements

Contents of an EPK depend on the industry and target audience. For instance, an EPK in the music industry might contain this:

* biographical & contact information
* monochromatic, high resolution, press photos (for easy reproduction)
* music clips (with accompanying lyrics)
* performance requirements
* tour dates
* press reviews and interviews, etc.
* promotional videos
* contract and/or technical rider
* "RIYL" or "Recommended If You Like" list: a listing of artists of similar styles or genres
* High resolution photos or images of key executives, the company logo, products, etc.

But I disagree with performance requirements and technical rider, they are part of the performance contract

Its not so much that its a secret pm haha. Just that its not our most recent press kit and I doubt my bandmates would want me putting it online for anyone to view. Plus it has demo versions of songs and crap. Its just an example of an EPK.

Here my bands press kit using ReverbNation for $6 a month.

Their release cost is decent as well but not the cheapest for getting on amazon, itunes and 4 other services.
