SHOUT4MUSIC INTRODUCTION
Shout4Music is a new innovative music and social networking site that has been born through the frustration of a freelance music journalist and a web developer in the under belly of London. Originally devised in rural Lincoln, Shout4Music could only be successful in London, so both parties moved to London in order for us to operate this site in the hybrid and active music scene of the country’s capital.
Shout4Music brings an eclectic range of music to the fore, and allows you to voice your opinions through voting and commenting on the site. Our passion for music means that we try and aid bands get the exposure they need and duly deserve. The eclectic mix of genres that we cover is imperative so that we provide the best possible service for YOU. We cover anything from folk; to heavy metal; to indie chic; to rap, Shout4Music aims to cater for everyone’s musical tastes.
Also, the special features on our site enable people to gain more of an overview of bands whether it be in our New Band Profiles section, our Feature Interviews or our reviews of artists singles and albums.
PROGRESS UPDATE
We are working with a wide range of successful PR companies and Record Labels, reviewing their material on a regular basis now. We have a writing team of around 15 active contributors, of which we appreciate their efforts whole heartedly and are integral to the functionality of the site. We try and maintain standards throughout the website in order to bring you the highest level of reviews. Shout4Music has already expanded quickly and aspires to keep expanding.
New features will be added to the site soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Our social networking side of the site is under continual construction, as is the facebook connect link that will improve and simplify interaction on the site. Add us on facebook and twitter, we need your support!
