What To Do...

Read the words, listen to the songs, and then, if you like the music, follow the link to where you can BUY IT. Or take a walk to your local independent record store and browse around for it there. And then when the artist comes to your town, go to their show, listen intently, and clap for them in between songs. And buy a poster, t-shirt, koozie, button, drinks for the band, whatever. It all helps keep independent music going, and if you're reading this right now that's important to you. Most of the music posted here has been free and legally released by the artist or sent to me directly from the artist with permission for posting. If something has slipped through the cracks and should be taken down please just let me know.

If you are a band and you think I may like your songs and want to write about them shoot me an email - popheadwound (at) gmail (dot) com. The name's James.
