From Becki Carr, captain of Yarrr! PR: I've been in the business of music promotion since 2001, and have worked with bands like Troubled Hubble, Jucifer, Pinback, Of Montreal, MAN Incorporated, and many more - even Blackbeard gave his seal of approval to my public relations ways:
"I was just a young Edward Teach until...Yarrr!"
The music business, as you may know, can be pretty soulless. I’m setting out to restore the integrity in music and music journalism and publicity (is this too high-falutin’?), and to work with talented bands who appreciate and take advantage of the support I can offer as they nurture their careers. My track record is pretty good so far - I started my career at Team Clermont in Athens, GA, and then moved to Detroit to work as in-house publicist for Times Beach Records - so I figured I’ll take the chance on my skills while I am still young, broke, and resilient. If you're an honest, hard-working group of musicians (or just one), please contact me. Unless you are a SCALLYWAG, I want to work with you. Check out music from my current piratical clients on my mp3 page- FREE MP3s - you know you love it!

Jucifer, Beulah, Of Montreal, Pinback, Kids of Widney High, Dengue Fever, Green Rode Shotgun, Mood Elevator, Paul Brill, Estradasphere, JKettle, Audra Kubat, MAN Incorporated, Deadstring Brothers, The Hentchmen, The Black Watch, The Apparitions, Jackpot, Brute, Melomane, deathray, Snowglobe, Starlings TN, Kevn Kinney, Party of Helicopters, Rotary Downs, Polara, Polyphonic Spree, World Leader Pretend, The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up.
Praise for Yarrr! PR from clients:
"Becki has kicked major ass for us. She's worked The Gunshy, The Dials, System and Station, and The Slats. For reference she's gotten our bands press in Amplifier, Big Takeover, Popmatters, Punk Planet, Spin and many, many more. Yarrr! PR will is our promo company of choice for sure. I've been nothing but happy with her work." - Dan, Latest Flame Records
