About Me

..

"The current crop of Diversions staffers has really gone all-out to make the section relevant, particularly local-music-wise. Plus they have a *really nice* camera and they're way too committed to taking it to multiple shows a week & posting the photos on their blog." - Ross Grady, TriangleRock.com

"UNC's music blog Diversions makes everyone else in the Triangle look like rock critics crutching on 10 p.m. bedtimes and tastes for sleeping late: Over the past year, they've thrown themselves behind local music with gusto and enthusiasm, posting album reviews, show reviews and live photos on a daily basis. Fittingly, they'll celebrate a year of good work with their own rock show, inviting three of the locals they've supported along for the score—the Boss-bastic Nathan Asher & the Infantry, the texture-enthusiastic The Honored Guests and the nervy Nathan Oliver." - Grayson Currin, Independent Weekly

(Dive has) been doing a bang-up job of covering the local music scene for the past year or so...Dunno whether their endorsement is enough to reverse the undergraduate trend of apathy towards live music, but bless 'em for trying." - Ross Grady, TriangleRock.com
