Music is more diverse than ever and there will continue to be those artists to try and smooth those rough edges. [...]
Album Trailers

I had never really taken notice of this trend before, but bands (or labels) are now releasing album trailers. They’re filmed just like movie trailers except without the baritone voice guy letting us [...]

Safety Concerns at Public Venues
I don’t even know why I’m writing on this topic because I don’t have any answers but like most people right now I’m thinking about the horrific events at the screening last week of the new Batman film. All I know is that when I go to an event, I don’t even want to be [...]

Death Of The Album
