Music Shattered Knee: My Newly Started Music Blog

KCUnited · 02-01-2014, 09:08 AM

So, I started a music blog last weekend, it's more like a zine as it's mostly music reviews and band interviews as opposed to my personal commentary. I'm especially shitty at self promotion, but I'm trying to generate some traffic to the blog itself and the Facebook page that supports it.

I've been doing this for a hard copy zine in KC as a guest contributor for about a decade. That's cool and traditional, but I wanted something with more reach. My goal is to provide some exposure to bands I feel are worthy as well as provide Kansas City some exposure in hopes bands will include us on their tours.

It's pretty raw. I'm still playing with layouts (Gadzooks should see something familiar in the background pic). I'm in desperate need of a proper logo. I'm thinking of running a logo design contest with a limited edition record and some stickers for the winning design.

Obviously, the content on here is an acquired taste, but feel free to stop by and listen to or read about some stuff you may not be familiar with. I'm also open to some guest contributions if anyone is inclined, anything within the metal, punk, and rap genre.

This is me whoring out for traffic, but I respect the music mindedness of CP, Metallica/Megadeth thread notwithstanding (i keed i keed).
