DIY Band Promotion
A few years ago before the internet was as BIG as it is now, I remember thinking about all the bands that were out there playing music that I had never heard of. Bands that I would never hear. I felt out of control.
Sure, there were bands that I loved listening to on mainstream radio and seeing play live in my area, but I was fully aware of the fact that there was no way that I was even getting a fraction of what was really going on musically around the country - or the world for that matter.
Fast forward to the present, and luckily the internet has been a key to helping solve my quandary. I can now easily access bands' music online, however, the amount of music seems infinite and overwhelming at times, which can also hinder the process of discovering new bands.
I started BandWeblogs.com because I wanted a place online where I could help myself and others discover new music and to spread the GOOD word about bands, musicians and artists - established and new. Signed and unsigned. All genres. Everywhere. I love receiving emails from bands and artists wanting to share their music. I also enjoy publishing their information on BandWeblogs.com.
There has been a large volume of news, music and review requests coming into my inbox as of late, and it frustrates me that I can't publish all of it, as there's only one me here, and only so many hours in the day.
At this point, my solution to this problem is to ask bands, musicians and artists to please leave a comment (not too long) with information about your music along with a couple links, so that readers can learn about you, listen to you - and hopefully buy your music.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I was at the Victoria in Mile End last week and, when I walk in a live music venue and don't know who's going to be playing I expect some more or less talented band with not much of a surprise. But when those guys came up on stage damn! the show was pure entertainment from beginning to end! A brilliant act and some great heavy guitar riffs.. I don't remember having had so much fun at a gig for a long time.. check them out!

Doesn't matter what you've heard about Evestus
Doesn't matter if you've never listened to any of his three albums
Doesn't matter if you've never seen his insane music videos
Because all of that is in the past.

Starved Man and the Begging Beggar is a two piece ambient rock project created by Matthew Flaherty and David Robinson.
We started way back in 2006 recording a few very low quality tracks. SMBB was almost forgotten about until early 2011 when we decided to restart the project with better equipment and take it a little more seriously.
Our 5 track EP, Have You Ever Been So Angry You Kicked A Flower? is due for release on the 5th of December 2011.

Thank you.
'Foreign Sketches' is the first draft on the selected sketches. Foreign by nature, as is mine, and presented in their rawest form. Blown wide open, letting the stories, emotions, sensations, live through a voice and a guitar.
Their blueprints are constantly mutating themselves, choosing new friends, new sounds... But that will be then. This is now.

Emerging from the pits of Holy Hell, Atomic Fate climbed to the top of the metal scene in 2008 with their debut album, Welcome To Holy Hell. The band's latest album, This Is Only The Beginning, welds earth-shattering vocals, gnashing guitar, pummeling bass, and maniacal drums to fabricate a record brimming with pulse-pounding scorchers. With standout tracks like "Step Into The Ring," look for Atomic Fate to be a major part in the metal landscape for years to come. Keep it Metal... Very Metal ! ! !
