Resources
This page is for and about musicians who are active on the
Internet. I started this mainly because I'd like to encourage other
people to check out these cool people's music (and my own band, TWISTED HELICES), but
now I am beginning to acquire a cool collection of truly "independent"
music. Why go independent? Check out my review of the Maximum
Rock 'n' Roll reprint Everything
you've wanted to know about major labels. Also, read my DiY guide, the Free Music Philosophy, and
look up the list of free
music advocates, for ideas on how to go about recording and
distributing your music.
Under each artist's name I include other popular bands who I think
are similar. This isn't the best way to do it, but I think it is an
efficient way of judging whether or not you will like the artist in
question for further investigation. Check out my choices for the best recordings and concerts,
which include many independent artists.
