About Me


Hi, I'm Erin.

If you ever want to hear something new just come check out the bands on this site. I promise you that you're bound to find something you like! It takes a lot of time to listen to literally thousands of bands to find the ones that I really like and believe in.
The music that you will find here.... I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is that I look for in music for a while now, but it's rather tricky.. just like the English language, there's lots of exceptions. I try to find artists that are highly talented, excellent song writters, unique in someway and can get the emotion out of a song. I don't expect you to like every band you hear on this page, but if you listen to them all you've got to find at least one that you like!
Please LISTEN! If you like what you hear:
1. Add the band (and me too!) as a friend
2. Add one of their songs to your profile
3. Put the band (and me : ) ) on your top friends list
4. Share their name with your friends
5. If you can, buy some of their stuff! ~Music, T's, whateva!~ Support the musicians!
6. Do what you can to help others find the music you like : )
7. Make a donation : ) I'm poor because I spend my time finding music for you to enjoy... please help!


If you likey... subscribe to my blog! That's where you'll find all of the updates on the new good tunes that I've found. I include links to all of the bands as well as a short description of their music and songs.

Anyone can read and comment on my music / random blogs I work hard on my writings people, they're yummy, just taste a bite. Awww come on. Fine you don't want any? good, that means more for the rest uf us!!! MMmmmMMmm... blogs.
Be my friend if you want to get bulletins when I find bands that I think people NEED to hear. I try to visit everyone to leave comments too, I'm not just a faceless soulless myspace profile! It's an awesome way to show support for the cause man!
My apologies if I don't get to you right away... alot of people friend request me and message me with good bands so sometimes and I keep in touch with a lot of the bands on my site as well.... the more this grows, the more people to respond to.... so if I don't approve your request or get to check out the band you messaged me about I'm super sorry and I'll get to it as soon as I can!
Do you know of a band that: belongs on this page? Are they unique, talented, complex, artistic, emotional? If you do it would be a huge huge help to other poeple like you and me who looking for good music. It would be a huge help to the music community... don't you think that if more bands became famous by word of mouth, we'd have much better music in our lives? You of course are helping the band... mabey even more than going out and buying a CD if you submit their name and they get featured here. Support your favorite band. Support underground indie listeners. Support the good music industry.
BANDS: please please please realize that I get sooooo many requests from bands so please only request me if you think I'd feature you on my site. When I go to approve friend requests I'm looking for uniquely talented musicians. If your lead singer sucks or you don't have one at all I apreciate your interest, but you don't need to bother requesting me. Same goes for bands that don't have more than one song up and music profiles of unoriginal music. If your band doesn't make it to my site you shouldn't be offended, I get to listen to SO MUCH good music that it's really hard to meet the standards I've got for the site. I encourage you to request me from your personal profile too, so you can check up on the site.... and so you don't forget about me! If you get a new band, or if you feel that you've improved try to friend request me again with your new songs up!
I am NOT a music critic What you see here on this site is my humble opinion on what I think is good. I think it's good if you disagree because that's what makes the world go round, different strokes for different folks! But anyhow this is only my opinion and I hope you would be so kind as to respect that. I mean no harm.
Thank you's
Lito(?) for having Yellow Red Sparks as your profile song
Scott cause I ripped off your "How Indie Are You" thing and having Ef on your profile song, they'll be in my blog.
Own Records for signing Gregor Samsa
Ms. "She's ajar" for A Lily and Yndi Halda
Dru! The Microphones and Mogwai, howw did I miss them? Your taste is amazing!
Look Cool, for having the Red Lights on your top friends list, they are one of my faves of faves, right next to you actually! Both of you rock my world.
Jumbling Towers, for being so cool yourself, but also for having Berlin Whale on your top friends list, I soooo wish I was in St. Louis to see a show with you two playing, that would be CRUMBLEIVABLE!!!!

Quick question: What do you look for in a band?

What is it that REALLY makes you like a band? (E.x. Originality, complexity and artistic quality are a few of the things I look for in a band.) Public viewers can comment!
