Free EPK Builder
One link to send promoters, venues and press, and you see when each of them opens it. Bio, photos, music, gig history and booking contacts on a single page that keeps itself up to date. Free, with no account, and if your band has played a show we list, it is probably built already.
Find your press kit
If your band has played a show we list, we have already built one. Search for it — and if we have not, build your own underneath.
No artist called “The Rotting Machine” on Moshradar yet — pages here are created when a band turns up on a listed gig. You do not have to wait for that: build your press kit now and it is yours either way.

A few minutes, no account. If your band does get listed later, the kit picks up your real upcoming dates on its own. Not settled on the name yet? Try the band name generator.
Build one from scratch
Bands, solo artists, DJs: give it a name and you are in the editor, with the kit building itself beside you as you type. Bio, photo, music, the rooms you have played, a tech spec and a booking contact, on a link you can keep changing.
No account needed. Or open the editor empty.

Free here, often paid elsewhere
- Know when they open it A tracked link for each promoter, venue or writer, and the editor tells you when they opened it and what they clicked.
- A PDF and a one-sheet The kit prints to A4 with a QR code back to the live link, and the one-sheet maker turns it into a single page or a post.
- Dates that keep up Once we list your shows, they appear on the kit by themselves.
- No account, no trial Start with a name. An account adds more photos, editing from any device and a Monday email when it was opened.
Five looks
What's in it
- Bio and press quote A short written intro plus a pull quote from a review, if you have one worth using.
- Photos Press shots at full size, ready for a promoter to lift straight into a listing or a poster.
- Music Top tracks and recent releases, with links out to Spotify, Bandcamp and anywhere else you are.
- Live dates Upcoming shows, read from the listings every time the page loads — the thing bookers actually check.
- Contacts Booking email, contact email and socials, so nobody has to hunt for who to write to.
- One shareable link Send it, print it to PDF, or put it in your Instagram bio. It updates itself either way.
What a press kit is actually for
A booker opening your email gives it about thirty seconds. In that time they need to know what you sound like, whether anyone comes to your shows, and who to reply to. An EPK exists to answer those three things in one click. Everything else — the long biography, the full discography, the influences — is padding that pushes the answers further down the page.
Why a link beats a PDF
A PDF is accurate on the day you export it and wrong from then on. Tour dates move, releases land, the drummer changes. A promoter who saved your press kit in March is looking at March. This one is generated on load from the same data behind our gig listings, so an old link still shows this month's dates.
What to write in the bio
Two paragraphs, maximum. The first says who you are, where you are from and what you sound like — comparisons are fine and genuinely useful here. The second is evidence: who you have supported, what you have released, where you have sold out. Cut every adjective that would be true of any band, and never open with "formed in".
Getting it in front of the right people
The press kit is only half of it. Find the promoters actually booking your kind of show by looking at who is putting on gigs near you — our city pages list what is on and where, which is a faster way to build a target list than searching blind. When you land the show, the gig poster maker handles the announcement.
Questions
What is an EPK?
An electronic press kit: the one link you send a promoter, venue or journalist instead of an email full of attachments. Bio, photos, music, upcoming dates and contacts, laid out so somebody can skim it in thirty seconds and act on it.
Is the Moshradar EPK builder free?
Yes, with no subscription and no account needed. Most EPK hosting charges monthly. Moshradar is a gig guide, not an EPK company: a band with a working press kit is a band whose listings stay accurate, and that is worth more to us than a subscription.
Do I need an account?
No. Give your kit a name and you are in the editor. A free account keeps it safe when your browser forgets, lets you edit it from any device, adds more photos and sends you a note on the Mondays it was opened.
My band is not on Moshradar. Can I still make one?
Yes. Build it from scratch here: it is yours either way. If your band is listed later, you can claim the page and what you typed comes with you.
My band is already on Moshradar. Is the press kit built?
If your band has played a listed show or has a Spotify profile we have synced, it already exists: search your name on this page. Claiming the page lets you replace the bio, add press quotes and set the booking email you want used.
Does the press kit stay up to date?
Yes. A band page that has been claimed reads its upcoming dates and releases live every time it is opened, and any kit shows your changes the moment you save, on the same link. That is the main thing it has over a PDF.
Can I have it as a PDF?
Yes. Print the kit from your browser for an A4 PDF, with the links printed out and a QR code back to the live kit. For a one-page sheet or a picture for a post, use "One-sheet and posts" in the editor. Send the link where you can, though: a PDF is out of date the moment a date moves.
Can I see who opened it?
Yes. Make a tracked link for each promoter you write to and the editor says when they opened it. It also shows what readers clicked and how far they read, never counting you or search engines.
How long should an EPK be?
One screen to decide on, one page in all. A promoter gives it about thirty seconds: your name, a photo, a bio of two short paragraphs, a link to your music, the shows you have played and how to book you. The editor's checklist is in that order.
Should I send my EPK as a PDF or a link?
A link, with a PDF for anyone who asks for an attachment. The link shows this month's dates and tells you when it was opened; a PDF is right on the day you make it. Every kit here prints to an A4 PDF with a QR code back to the live link.
What is the difference between an EPK and a one-sheet?
An EPK, an electronic press kit, is your press kit as a web page: everything a booker or a writer needs, on one link. A one-sheet is a single page, often for one release or one tour, to print or attach. The editor makes both: the kit, and a one-sheet and social posts made from it.
What do I send a venue with my EPK?
A short email: who you are in a line, the date or month you are after, who you have played with and what you can draw, and the link. Make a tracked link for that venue, so you know when they have looked before you follow up.
How often should I update my EPK?
Whenever something changes: a release, a support slot, a new photo. Everything you change shows on the same link the moment you save, so nobody is reading an old copy, and once your band's page here is claimed, its dates update themselves.
Should I password-protect my EPK?
Usually not: a booker who has to ask for a password moves on to the next email. Keep the kit open and send each promoter a tracked link of their own; the tech spec shows on those links whether or not it is on the public kit.
