Discovering Music is Fun
So, as promised, we have ANOTHER contest today… this one is all about discovering new music.
Introducing people to music that they’ve never heard or experienced is a huge part of why I have run music websites and local concerts since I was 14 years old…
So, today you get to pay back the favor. Comment on this post with a link to a band that you think we’ve never heard and should hear. Whoever posts the band or artist that tickles our fancy most gets free music in the form of a carry case of CDs or indie and lesser known acts.
So here goes, all you have to do is comment below with a link or links. Feel free to enter as many times as you want. The winner will be chosen next Sunday night… one week from today, that is. So 11:59 PM on February 23, 2014 is the deadline. Tell us who we should be listening to and covering.

You’d better listen to MuteMath. (Remember Earthsuit???)
MuteMath’s “Control” is one of the best modern rock songs every written. It’s what U2 should sound like.
BNLX. They do originals but you’ll like this cover.
