“Mike and Earshot Media is the real deal. He's been there, done that... he knows him, saw her band in 1994 and has worked with their manager. My point is, Mike is well connected and well liked. That's what you want in a publicist. Having worked with him for 10 years I know first hand he's one of the best and truly cares.”- Craig Ericson, President Rise Records

“I have worked with Mike for over ten years and have found him to be among the best in the business. Not only is Mike courteous, professional, and quick, but frankly, he is killer at his job. What sets Mike apart from most PR companies is that you can tell he really, really, really loves the bands that he represents and loves his job. Mike is successful at what he does because he has the two key attributes in this biz: 1) A true love of music and 2) professionalism like no one else. A lot of people have one or the other, but Mike has both in spades and he's a nice guy.”- John Gentile, Punknews
“As a music journalist, I've been working with Mike for over a decade. He is easily one of the most-trusted music publicists I have ever worked with. He is quick to respond, knowledgeable and extremely personable (a rarity today, even with folks who work in publicity). I get inundated with emails daily, but I read every single missive Mike sends. He has earned my trust many times over and he has learned what music I'd be into; so if he suggests a band, I will listen to them every time. He is truly one of my favorite people to work with.” - John B. Moore, writer for Blurt/New Noise Magazine/Innocent Words/InSite Atlanta/NeuFutur Magazine
“I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Mike on hundreds of projects in my capacity as a freelance writer and editor over the last 16 years.

Mike is prompt in his responses, provides appropriate background, one-sheet, audio files, photos and press release materials, and is diligent in helping both his clients and writers meet publication deadlines. Mike is extremely knowledgeable, considerate and easy to work with. I have worked with several other publicists in this capacity and can say with certainty that Mike is among the best there is.” - Tim Anderl Web Editor, Ghettoblaster Magazine Contributor, New Noise Magazine

I highly recommend Earshot Media if you want to take your career or business to the next level.”- Travis Groo (Autumn + Colour)

The band's name is Everyone Dies in Utah and they are signed to InVogue Records. They just released their latest self titled album and Mike worked press for it. I like working with Mike because I feel he is very strategic with his press placements. He doesn't just do a mass email blast and hope for the best.

“Hello Mike, I want to say and let people know what a great you did for Chaos Delivery Machine. And I know you didn't have much to work with when it came to us. We are noise and don't tour and are not good at self-promotion. Ha! But you went above and beyond to get us all those interviews, etc... and you never asked for money up front you were not the typical musical industry "business only/bullshitter" guy. You were the perfect balance between a friendly, cool person who genuinely cares and a music business insider. Cheers and thank you!” -Justin Thirsk (Chaos Delivery Machine/98 Mute)

“Mike Cubillos (Earshot Media) has always gone out of his way to approve interview requests for me every time his clients are in LA. I don’t know what he saw in me from the beginning but i remember being a new on-camera host and being offered interviews with both his newest and biggest artists as well as credentials to cover his biggest tours. Every major band has gone through Mike at some point and I don’t understand how he’s been able to handle it all on his own and still reply to every message with a personal touch rather than a mass/copy and paste email. I always look forward to working with his clients and catching up with Mike at events because I know anytime he is in charge the show will flow accordingly.” -Rob Herrera (Punkvideosrock & Front Row Live Ent)

“TNN RADIO has been broadcasting Alternative music since 2006. Over the years, we’ve worked with everyone from Social Distortion to the Foo’s! Over that time, I can honestly tell you which reps make a difference. For me, I’ve always appreciated the reps that go out of their way to make sure you’ve got what you need to help promote their client. For a radio guy, reps like Earshot Media make things happen. Keeping your word is important, and they do just that. They’re very lucky to be doing what they do. Often enough, as in this case, their success is because of hard work disguised as luck. As a Producer and Broadcaster, I can tell you that there is no better rep to work with than Earshot Media.”- Jimmy Alvarez, Executive Producer / TNN RADIO

“I was a writer for Connections Magazine in Orlando, Florida for over 10 years, so I worked with many record labels and publicists. I can honestly say that Earshot is in my top 3 best pr groups. Mike always kept me in the loop whenever any of his bands had a new album coming out or if any of them were coming to Florida. If I had an questions, he always responded in a timely fashion. I wish more publicists were as professional as Mike. He also gets bonus points for being a down to earth person.”- Shannon Patterson (Connection Magazine)

Bands that he works with are lucky to have such a partnership because I can tell that he is personally invested in and cares about their successes.”- Jackie Cular, In The Key Of Change

“When I created Nyght Scene Magazine, I had no idea where to start or what to do. Earshot Media was one of the first PR companies that I reached out to for an interview, and instead of becoming impatient with my lack of knowledge, Mike took the time to give me a brief overview on how to make a request and what I should be asking for to ensure success. He was patient and informative and never once did I feel like I was being spoken down to. With that brief, but thorough tutorial, I went on to create Florida's largest web based magazine from 2005 to 2010, averaging 50,000 independent readers monthly. I never met a band or journalist that didn't praise Earshot's attentiveness and support. Some of our best interviews came from Earshot Media. I would definitely work with them again.”- Hallena Hinkle, Nyght Scene Magazine

“I first started working with Mike & Earshot Media in 2011, when my band Last Call had signed to an indie and was gearing up for our first official release with the label. He got us great exposure and press opportunities that helped give our band a boost like we had never experienced up to that point. Fast forward to Spring of 2012, we were in the studio recording our debut LP and got word that the label had suddenly (maybe not so suddenly?) tanked, leaving us to foot a large studio bill, and scramble to pick up the pieces of a release that was supposed to have an entire team behind it. Mike was awesome enough to help us with PR for that release, even after the label had left numerous people high and dry, the reception of which was amazing, and we owe a lot of the success that record saw to Mike! He's always been a pleasure to work with, and any band who is lucky enough to have him on their team should be extremely proud! Thanks for having our back. It's something I'll never forget!”- Adam Blasco
