everything brands, agencies and producers ask about licensing original music for picture.
+ What is sync music and how does sync licensing work?
Sync (short for synchronisation) is music licensed to pair with visual media: adverts, film, TV, trailers, social campaigns, games and more. A sync licence is your permission to use a track in a project. Evil Dogs writes original sync music and licenses it directly to brands, agencies and producers.
+ What can I use Evil Dogs music for?
Television and online adverts, brand films, social and digital campaigns, film and TV scenes, trailers, title sequences, games, podcasts, and corporate or event content. If it's going on a screen, it's built for it.
+ What's the difference between non-exclusive and exclusive licensing?
Non-exclusive lets you license a track that may also be used by others. It's lower cost with a fast turnaround, ideal for digital and social. Exclusive gives your brand sole sync rights and takes the track off the shelf for everyone else: higher cost, full category protection. We also offer full buyouts. Not sure which you need? Just
get in touch and we'll guide you.
+ Is your music royalty-free and pre-cleared?
Every track is original and controlled by Evil Dogs. We own both the recording and the composition, so it's pre-cleared and quick to license, with no third-party rights to chase. Fees depend on usage, media and term.
+ Do you write bespoke or custom music to brief?
Yes. Send us the cut, the deck, or just the feeling, and we'll compose, perform and record something original made only for your project, in any genre. Bespoke pieces are delivered with stems and instrumentals.
+ Do tracks come with stems and instrumentals?
Yes. Every track ships with stems and instrumentals as standard, plus cut-downs and alternate edits (6s, 15s, 30s and more) on request.
+ How much does it cost to license a track?
It depends on how the music is used: media (TV, online, cinema), territory and licence length, and exclusive versus non-exclusive. Tell us about your project and we'll send a clear quote.
+ How fast can you turn things around?
Catalogue licences can move very quickly because everything is pre-cleared. Bespoke timelines depend on scope, but we're built for deadlines. Ask us and we'll be straight with you.
+ What genres do you cover?
Indie, rock, pop, dance, house, americana, country, orchestral, cinematic and more. Across our three studios we can record almost anything, with male or female vocals or fully instrumental.
+ Where are you based?
We're a UK collective with studios in London and Somerset, and we work with brands, agencies and producers anywhere.
+ Do you use AI to make your music?
No. Every Evil Dogs track is written, played and recorded by humans in real rooms, mixed by ears, never generated by a model. 100% human-made, always.
