NW Noise

About Me

The NW Noise Indie Music Media Publication is Portland, Oregon's home to indie music, music news, reviews, criticism, artist interviews and community. NW Noise was started in 2004 as an indie music podcast and has grown and extended to cover music down the West Coast and across the globe.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 06/11/2005
Band Website: http://www.northwestnoise.com
Band Members:

Tim Germer is the founder and publisher of the NW Noise website.

Jason Gears is like the Tonto to Tim's Lone Ranger. A strange and unusual counterpart to Germer, Gears is a NW Noise contributer as well as a writer for the NW Noise website and also helps Tim seek out Northwest bands and artists for the NW Noise Podcast.

Justin Royce makes his way onto the NWN team, having a background in business and being an all around hoot to hang out with at shows in Portland. He brings in a new flavor in writing for the website, participating on the podcast and bringing in new bands for interview purposes that all tastes so damn good!

Influences: We're listening to these bands right now. Contact us to get your music played on Northwest Noise.
