A promoter asks for your EPK. Your bio is in a Google Doc, the press shots are in someone else's Drive, the stage plot is in an email from last year, and the SoundCloud link may or may not still play. By the time you have zipped it all together, the booking conversation has moved on.

Pick a look, not a template

Choose a theme and an accent colour, then reorder or hide sections. It is still a live page, so the gigs you flag and the tracks you feature show up on their own.

How to make a free EPK in BandVolt

  1. Write the bio

    Write a bio, a tagline and an elevator pitch. Lead with what you sound like and what you have actually done, so a promoter knows in one line whether you fit the night.

  2. Add music, photos and video

    Feature tracks from your song library so they play in the waveform player. Add a photo gallery and YouTube videos. You are not uploading the music a second time.

  3. Set the booking details and the shows

    Add a booking contact, press quotes and social links. Flag gigs on the band calendar and those shows appear on the page as upcoming dates.

  4. Preview, then publish one link

    Choose a theme and an accent colour, reorder or hide sections, and preview the page. Publish when it is ready. Anyone with the link can open it with no account, and you can take the page offline again whenever you want.

What goes in an EPK

A promoter, booker or journalist is deciding whether to book you, write about you, or pass. The page has to answer that quickly. In BandVolt it can hold:

Story

  • Bio, tagline, and elevator pitch
  • Press quotes and social links
  • Optional AI bio writer (2 Volts per generation)

Music

  • Featured tracks with waveform player

Media

  • Photo gallery and YouTube videos

Booking and shows

  • Booking contact
  • Upcoming shows from flagged calendar events

Control and analytics

  • Free public EPK on every tier
  • Custom public URL and publish controls
  • Themes, accent colours, and section reorder/hide
  • Preview before publish
  • Total views and last-30-day view counts

How the press kit stays current

Most band press kits go stale because updating them is a job nobody owns. Here, upcoming shows are the gigs you flag on the band calendar, and the music is the tracks you feature from the song library. Change the dates you want public, or the tracks you want a promoter to hear, and the link you already sent shows the update.

The bio is still yours to edit. When the story changes, you change it once. There is no second website to keep in step, and no PDF in old inboxes still listing last year.

Online page, PDF, or a website of your own

You do not need a band website. BandVolt hosts the page at your-band.bandvolt.com/epk, from a short name taken from the band. A domain of your own is not supported. You send one link. Viewers do not need an account.

Make it an online page, not a PDF you email around. A PDF is frozen on the day you export it, so every copy drifts out of date as soon as a show changes. If a booker still asks for a file, open the published page in a browser and use Print, then Save as PDF. The link is the press kit. The PDF is a copy of it.

How much an EPK costs

Plenty of EPK sites charge a monthly fee just to keep your page online. A BandVolt EPK costs nothing: building, publishing and sharing it is free on every tier, including the free Basic tier. No card is required to sign up.

The only optional spend is the AI bio writer: 2 Volts each time you generate a draft, from 10 Volts a month on Basic or 200 on Premium. You can skip it and write the bio yourself. Premium, if the band later wants more storage and more Volts, is £9.99 a month for the whole band, not per person. The EPK stays free either way.

Free EPK maker: common questions

Is the EPK maker free?

Yes. BandVolt's EPK maker is free on every tier, including the free Basic tier. No card is required to sign up, and anyone you send the link to can open the page without an account. The press kit stays free if you later upgrade.

How much does an EPK cost?

The page costs nothing. Building, publishing and sharing it is free on Basic and on Premium. The only optional cost is the AI bio writer, at 2 Volts a generation, from 10 Volts a month on Basic or 200 on Premium. You can write the bio yourself and spend nothing. Premium, for more storage and more Volts, is £9.99 a month for the whole band, not per person.

Do I need a website for an EPK?

No. You do not need a band website or a domain of your own. BandVolt hosts the page at your-band.bandvolt.com/epk. You send that one link.

Should my EPK be a PDF or an online page?

An online page. A PDF is a file, so the copy in someone's inbox goes stale when the shows or the bio change. The BandVolt EPK is a public page, and you can unpublish it whenever you want. If a booker still asks for a PDF, open the published page in a browser and use Print, then Save as PDF.

What goes in a band EPK?

A bio, tagline and elevator pitch, featured tracks from your library with a waveform player, a photo gallery, YouTube videos, press quotes, social links, a booking contact, and upcoming shows from the gigs you flag on the band calendar. You can reorder or hide any section. It is a press page, not a sequenced album or EP.

Do promoters need an account to open it?

No. Promoters, bookers and journalists open the link, play the featured tracks and watch the videos without signing up. Total views, and views over the last 30 days, show whether the link is being opened.
