About - New Bands for Old Heads

New Bands for Old Heads is a place for people who want to get into new music but feel overwhelmed by it, or maybe even think it hasn't been good since [insert whatever decade it was that you were in your 20s]. Basically, I’m trying to get you excited about music discovery again.

I do that through recommendations of new bands that sound like old bands, playlists, listening parties, community discussions, and all kinds of other stuff.

When does it happen?

NBfOH is published approximately weekly, usually early in the week, but there won't be a standard schedule or format — there's just too many things to talk about.

Why pay for it?

For the archive, for a directory of all my recs, for the vinyl giveaways, for the community, for the playlists, for the listening parties. There’s lots to enjoy here.

If you want those things but can't afford them right now, just send me a message and I'll get you sorted out.

Anything else?

Sure! You’ll get sick of me saying this, but I think the best thing about discovering new music, as well as the best way to discover new music, is the community around it. That means I want to hear from you.

If you’re a musician…

You can submit your music if you want me to listen to it. If it’s my thing, I might add it to one of my playlists, or I might end up writing about it. If it’s not my thing, don’t worry; I don’t roast anyone here. Well, not artists, anyway. Also, please do not be upset if I don’t respond right away. I promise I’m getting to it!
