About Me

ConcertLivewire's credo is to put the cutting edge back into music. Through our online music magazine we have created a haven for up and coming artists as well as popular acts. Through talented writing and blistering photography - our staff of professional journalists are committed to reporting exactly how they see it.
R.E.M.
We're anti-corporate and believe in promoting the indie spirit and ethic. Updated daily - ConcertLivewire will turn into a bad habit that you won't want to break.
We have free downloads with artists that record one-of-a-kind tracks in our studio at Basement Tapes
We feature probing and exciting artist interviews at Interviews.
Cutting edge concert photography and brutally honest concert reviews at Concert Reviews .
We'll feature tasty (and some not so sweet) samples of this weeks featured artists from Livewire's CD reviews.
Daily breaking news at "Daily Dish."
