Okay. There's good news and there's band news.

The bad news is that - after four years of listing the newest bands in this section, we're closing our Fresh Blood pages. 

No, we're not giving up hope on the new acts out there! If anything, they deserve more recognition than ever! But our Fresh Blood section tends to separate the unsigned acts from the signed acts and that doesn't seem fair. Many of our Fresh Blood bands are as good or better than signed bands out there. Why stick them somewhere else? It's practically rock'n'roll segregation and we're not going to stand for it! 

The good news is that we've moved all of our Fresh Blood bands to our regular CD review section. From now on, all CD reviews will appear there, with the Fresh Blood bands being identified as "demos" or "self-produced." That way, if someone is searching for "Bloodlet" and discovers "Bloody Maiden" at the same time, our job is done.

So click here to go to our CD Reviews page and remember - support local rock!
