Australian music deserves better.
It deserves our attention, a fair shot on the airwaves. It deserves to stir up excitement as the new up and comers do a small bar tour. It deserves to not be tucked behind an algorithm or by some keyboard warrior claiming nothing good has come out since the 90's.
It deserves to be heard.
We're building something loud. A grassroots way to cut through the noise, share the word and give artists a shot without kissing the feet of a multinational monopoly.
This is for the fans who still give a shit. For the artists doing it without a marketing team (hell, even the ones who do). For the community that shows up, buys the merch, and tells their mates about their new favourite artist.

FAQ's
(or more realistically just questions.)
-
WTF is this?
This is a project to help promote Australian music, The current idea is essentially a directory of Aussie music, the artists can then choose where they want to sell/stream/whatevs and this will link out to all avenues the artist wishes. At no cost to the artis or fan.
-
How will this work?
Artists will be able to upload details of new releases (all their releases if they want) and each week we will have the new releases, filterable on the home page. The intent is for it to be your traffic directory for new Aussie Music.

How much will this cost?
Nothing. This will be free for artists and users.

Hopefully tug on enough heart strings to keep the lights on via donations and merch sales. I am not the star here, the artists deserve your $$$ more than this site does.
