Resurrection

Yes, after 7 months or so of inactivity, I have decided that is high time that I got back into this blogging / writing lark. I realised that I still have so much to say, so much to share and too much inspiration and passion to let it go to waste. Even if only a few people read it, it's still a handful of people that are interested in what I have to say. I came to the realisation that Facebook probably isn't the right platform to share videos or to recommend new bands as only a small percentage of my 'friends' on there are even remotely interested in seeing such updates.

To be honest, I became disillusioned when even the ones I thought / knew would be interested, clearly weren't and it felt that I was sharing new music with the same 3 or 4 people. Therefore, from now on I will be using this blog as a platform / outlet for my ravings. I am constantly coming across music, from new bands and old, that excites me in the same way it did when I was a teenager. I still have those "jaw-dropping" and "smiling like an idiot" moments...and it's this that I live for. There is so much out there to listen to, so why limit yourself to the same old albums/bands/songs? You can still listen to them - nobody is taking that away from you - but there are literally thousands of bands out there striving to be heard, to get their music to an audience.

Now, I'm not claiming to be some kind of oracle. That would be arrogant - even for me. Rather, I am saying that I have the time and the interest in trawling through literally tens of new artists / albums each and every week. Some of it is great, some of it not so much, but music is my life and my passion and I just feel that there is too much out there that is not receiving the attention it deserves.

That, my friends, is where you come in. All you have to do is follow this here blog and to click on the links, read my reviews and then go off and decide for yourself if there is anything that is worth your time. Think about it - I'm doing all the foot work (mouse-clicking, frankly), so you don't have to. Don't just let Spotify, Metal Hammer or the radio tell you what is cool - give me a chance too. I won't let you down. I promise. I have a veritable batch of ideas for posts, so I will be updating every couple of days time and inspiration allowing. Everything from reviews, weekly round-ups, band of the week, album of the month, top 10's, YouTube videos. Anyway, enough of my aimless witterings. I hope to see a few of you following and commenting here in the future. Hell, I'd even appreciate a few of you sharing the love...recommend my blog to friends who might be interested, share it on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, etc. See you in the pit. Or something.
