Transmission Publicity
Forward-thinking indie music PR firm based in AVL
Launched at the dawn of 2017, Transmission Publicity is a music PR, consulting and A&R firm owned and operated solely by Spencer Scanlon, a veteran music publicist since 2006. He cut his teeth early on at the revered music PR firm Girlie Action, before moving on to become the Publicity Manager at Republic Records and Casablanca Records (Universal Music Group). After becoming disillusioned by the major label world, he dove headfirst back into the indie PR world to become the Director of Publicity at Crash Avenue. Prior, he put in time doing freelance work and internships at respected companies such as Pitchfork, Central Park SummerStage, The Village Voice and Rykodisc (Frank Zappa’s label).
Scanlon’s clients, both past and present, are as diverse as his experience, having worked on press campaigns for Morrissey (who didn’t fire him), The Cure, Santigold, The Rapture, DFA Records, Mogwai, Shit Robot, The Weeknd, Kavinsky, The Lonely Island, Stars, Sebadoh and countless others. He also played a vital role in launching the careers of artists like Christopher Paul Stelling, Holy Ghost!, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Pretty Lights, The Last Bison, Wolkoff, ACES, Darwin Deez, Quiet Hollers, The Fluids, Ganser, Black Grapefruit and countless others.
Transmission was formed out of a passion for seeking out new talent and developing artists from the ground up, which is where our strengths lie. While we gravitate more toward indie rock, psych, garage rock and post-punk, we also work on projects all over the spectrum - from alt-pop and synth-pop, to folk and alt-country and (mostly) everything in-between. Whether you need help with an upcoming single, video, EP, album, compilation, tour, or even A&R work pitching your music to record labels, please feel free to reach out and we’ll see if it’s a good match!
