As a musician, I know how valuable a good quality review can be. Positive or negative, they can be hard to come by, even for more established acts. So, in November 2020, I started a music blog, providing independent bands and artists with the kind of reviews I'd hope to receive myself - something considered, constructively critical, hopefully insightful and ideally quotable.
Please get in touch on Twitter (@FoxSleepMusic) or Mastodon (https://toot.wales/@FoxSleep) if you are interested.
If you enjoy what you read, please consider buying me a coffee (no obligation)! ko-fi.com/foxsleep
