I’m very pleased to have recently picked the brain of one of my favorite people in the music industry and one who wears many inter-related hats, Amy Nicole, founder of ACRONYM. First of all, I really love how ACRONYM very much looks and feels like an extension of who you are. There’s such an active...
Early bird gets the worm, and that is true for almost all online media people itching at the chance to break a story. It’s the same with music, too; journalists and bloggers take pride in “discovering the band” before anyone else, which is why they are quick to jump on premieres or new releases. But...
by MATT BACON > I think that the hardest thing to do in the music industry is to maintain audience interest. This is one of those things that is hard to properly define for a lot of artists because on the one hand it certainly can be a lot of work but on the other...
by MATT BACON > Regular readers will know the fervor I have for ABBA. They are after all one of the most vital bands of the twentieth century and probably the band that I have logged the most hours listening to this year. Scratch that, they are without a date the band I have logged...

by MATT BACON > What if I told you the most influential rock band of the last thirty years was fronted by a guy whose favorite bands included Swans and Celtic Frost? What if I told you that this band, after their mainstream breakout release then proceeded to put out a surprisingly challenging experimental rock...
by MATT BACON > I think one of the single best things that a band can do in order to promote themselves is to exploit the true power of Patreon. There is a way to use it that I think very few other people fully realize or are willing to put the effort in to...
by MATT BACON > So an issue I’ve been running into lately and that I’ve had to talk to a lot of bands about is figuring out how to help bands avoid corniness in their social media posts. It’s a tricky thing to be sure. No one wants to be viewed as a try hard...
