The Year of 2013 [PREVIEW]

 

What's the point in writing about music if you can't help it develop and grow?
 

There are many local music acts worth knowing about that most local writers, bloggers and media have not heard due to a number of reasons.  The main issue being limited time and proper introduction.

Even the bands and artists well known within most communities don't have enough resources to keep all the fans and local media aware of their best happenings until time has ran out on ticket sales, deadlines or submissions.
 

Some of the most talented writers either started from a small DIY publication or are still writing for one today.  They deserve to be read by more local music lovers and larger publications in your area.  Popular blogs and national music press should be exposed more to your local scene and the people who create and cover it.
