About Me

Awww...I'm immensely boring. But, I'll give it a try...
MusicTAP is a multi-genre, online music information source, up and running since 2002. By multi-genre, we mean it: anything ranging from classics to classical. From hair metal to hardcore. From ambient to acid rock. You get the idea.Created and maintained by Illinois-native-turned-southern-Californian Matt Rowe, TAP posts regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, chock full of news, release dates and, of course, lots and lots of reviews. TAP also features special columns like Lindsay Planer's "As the Disc Spins" as well as interviews by Marco Passarelli and John Dunphy.
This page serves as a portal to MusicTAP. We'll regularly post reviews, as well as lean you in the right musical direction with some of our favorite soundclips.
