My submissions policy is now much simpler: feel free to send me something, but there is no guarantee I will write about it. The address to reach me at is pointsofdata AT gmail.com. I’ll often reply to emails that have a personal touch, because I like conversations; I usually reply to emails fairly promptly but can sometimes take up to a week depending on how busy I am. Sorry if this happens: I run and write NFI entirely for the love and as you can see I don’t support the site with ads.
NFI will be less regularly updated than it was in 2010 and 2011 whilst I focus my efforts on my own band and my other writing projects. That said I still like things that are interesting enough that I feel driven to write about them so why not see if what you want to send me fits into one of the two following vague categories?
THINGS I LIKE: albums, EPs, singles – digital or physical, it’s all good; books or films about music and particularly punk rock; interesting genre films; interesting genre books; non-fiction that for lack of a better term I’ll describe as ‘political/historical’; D.I.Y. ethics and spirit; irreverence.
THINGS I’LL PASS ON: PR guff for bands (this includes tour dates, press releases, release announcements, other promotional puff); anything that is overly excited by industry awards or major label nonsense; self-published books 99.999% of the time; games (but only because you should send those to Arcadian Rhythms instead).
