From Kerry Skemp:
We've all hit musical rock bottom at some point, listening to the same three bands nonstop and feeling uncertain about where to look for something different. I'd like for this site to help educate readers about the history of alternative music, and also turn people on to new bands, new sounds, and new experiences.
