About Me

Hey, Portland Rockers! We've noticed a few holes in the Portland Rock Music Scene. So we're gonna fill 'em up with stuff like recent show reviews, album and song reviews, and (just to make sure that we've got them holes filled REAL good!!) some listings of local clubs/bars that like to keep the rock sound around as well as stuff that we hear comin' up over the horizon and down the pike.BANDS!: If you would like your stuff to be reviewed by us, please drop us a line including a link to your website/page/ and upcoming shows if possible. Please feel free to shamelessly promote your upcoming shows by posting a flyer in the comments section! xoxoxoFANS!: Put that love of music to work and send us some show/album reviews... please include all the goodies like date/venue/and whatever alias that you're using this week....

SHOW REVIEW; Pornstore Janitor, Pillowfight, Dirty Harriet @ Audio Cinema 4/15
