About Me

"What IS WVRockscene?"Sometimes the editors, authors, narrators, ad executives and PR/A&R people here ask themselves that question.It's NOT a band.It's some people coming together at various points in time to cover local bands that we like. THAT'S it. Now, some of us may have liked different styles and particular bands more than others, but doing articles on (and filming) bands for The Gazz and thegazz.com is what was the genesis of WVRockscene.
