About Rob ‘Bobby’ Town – Rock & Metal PR Specialist for Unsigned Bands
Helping grassroots bands get noticed with expert PR, real-world experience, and a passion for heavy music.
Who I Am & Why I Started Stampede Press
I just wanted to personally thank you for checking out what I do here at Stampede Press; a music PR agency for unsigned rock and metal bands.
You might be wondering:
“Why does a music PR service care so much about grassroots bands?”
The reason is simple — I’ve been where you are.
My name’s Rob (you might know me as Bobby), and I founded Stampede Press in 2012 to help independent artists and DIY musicians cut through the noise and get their music noticed.
From Touring with Metallica to Promoting Independent Artists
I was fortunate to be part of the UK metal band Panic Cell, a self-managed group that toured globally and played alongside legendary acts like:
Metallica
Disturbed
Skindred
Alice in Chains
Papa Roach
We earned coverage in major rock and metal media and performed at some of the world’s most iconic festivals, including:
Download Festival (UK)
SXSW (USA)
Bloodstock Open Air BOA (UK
Wacken Open Air WOA (Germany)
Through all of that, we did it ourselves with the help of professional people working in the music industry. No big label. No big machine. Just hard work, strategy, collaboration, and persistence; the same mindset I apply to helping independent bands promote new music and grow their fanbase.
What I Bring to Your Band’s Journey
I combine over a decade of hands-on music PR experience, touring insight, and music business coaching to deliver meaningful results for rock and metal artists.
Whether you’re:
Releasing your new EP
Planning a new album campaign
Looking to get press coverage
Trying to build a loyal fanbase
Guidance on band marketing strategy
- Monetising your music releases
I’ve got your back.
