Music Marketing Advice

Hey!! My name is Ryan, and I front an unreleased deathcore band out of Nashville/LA/Milwaukee. I had a few questions about marketing and frankly this will be a longer post to provide context.

I’ve hopped local bands for years leading up until June-ish of last year when I founded the group I’m in now. I was tired of doing local music and wanted to get into some more extreme music. We are a four piece and 3/4 of us have decent involvement in the deathcore industry just due to good networking.

We have had the opportunity to ask questions and pick the brains some of the folks from Angelmaker, Synestia, and several other bands of that size and genre and have direct access to a decently sized network of support for quick questions. I’m coming here because we have a goal and a budget. We have a 2,500 marketing budget for a 5 song EP. This does not include videos+photoshoot and art this is simply for promotion. The music is good, well thought out, and on par with much larger bands. We are hoping to attain numbers in the 230,000-1,000,000 stream range on our strong songs and 25,000-75,000 on our weak songs. We aim for 20-45k monthly listeners within a year of our release. How can we achieve this or what are some tips, tricks, pointers, for success?

NOTE: I know this may sound unattainable or even cocky to ask. This has been a dream for a long time and now that we finally have some sentiment of traction pre-release I want to utilize and optimize any and all marketing.
