Our focus is music.
We think that music is the purest form of art, because it can hit you directly, without any rationalization. We think of music not as an industry but as a form of art and culture, that therefore must be free for everyone (then, if a musician's worthy, one should support him, not his label).
We want to spread the word about bands and musicians that see music as an art more than a chore. People that try to innovate or that simply put their heart in what they do.
First of all, we suggest our followers to sign in to last.fm to find out more bands similar to the ones they already listen to.
Here're ours:

Second point: we don't think of genre categorization as an absolute. It's useful (and we use it) to give an idea, but, especially if the music is not one-sided and monodirectional, as good music should be, it's just an approximation and it's not meant to represent the whole of somebody's artistic production. For the same reason, we think that it's stupid to hate a whole genre a priori, but we believe that every artist worth of this name works his own way and should be judged individually.
Third, if anyone has a band or a musician that he wants us to create a link about, just contact us through the /ask or the /request page.

Band of the week: Junius
Hailing from Boston (USA), the four members of Junius represent an undoubtely strong creative force to be reckoned with in the wide panorama composed of post-rock, post-metal and modern alternative rock.
The bearded band crafted several EPs and two LPs: “The Martyrdom Of A Catastrophist” (2009) and “Reports From The Threshold Of Death” (2011). So, what do they sound like? Like a dark, winding journey through the human soul and its strongest feelings, like love, yearning and loneliness. Emotional vulnerability, thick, ethereal atmospheres and sludgy aggression. Not a forgiving listen to the mind and to the heart. Yet, in all the sadness and melancholy, Junius seek to bring light and hope to such dark places. Their albums are very personal (according to the band itself); “Martyrdom” follows the life and death of Immanuel Velikovsky, Russian-born American philosopher, while “Reports” (logical step forward) talks about near-death experiences and the journey of the soul after death.
