Happy Monday everyone! Well here we are, another week, another round of exciting changes and announcements.
First off, we have a brand new logo! Very simple yet a major step up from our old one. This logo is used on both our blog and our Twitter account.
We are adding a new section to the blog as well entitled "Quote Of The Week". Each week we will be featuring a quote by an artist that was found to be inspirational. This will be updated every Monday starting today.
We have an interview with the band "A Story Left Untold" coming up. This interview should make it's way over to the blog sometime next week. This date is subject to change.
Finally, we have been advertising our blog a lot on our Twitter account, we have strayed to far from what we started it for, music news. So we will be putting more music news on there and advertising left.
Have a great week everyone, we will see you soon.

A.O.T.M February- "A Story Left Untold"
“A Story Left Untold”
Queens/Long Island, New York
The Members
Michelle- Vocals
Alex- Guitar
Joseph- Guitar
Sean- Bass
Nick- Drums
The Sound
The bands sound is sprawled out over several genres including alternative, pop, punk and rock. The only way to truly describe their sound is a combination of all these genres, which makes for a unique sound that is tough to compare.
The Background
“A Story Left Untold” formed in November of 2010. Since then, they have played many a show and shared the stage with many different bands. In 2012, they still plan to tour like mad, good news for fans of the band. In July of 2011, their debut album was released, entitled, “Forgetting Something Unforgettable”.
The Review
After listening to “ Forgetting Something Unforgettable” right through a number of times. I have reached many a conclusion. First and foremost, they generally play a rather upbeat style of music. Combine this with the very talented vocals of Michelle and you have a catchy band that can captivate the listener and make them an instant fan.
Approaching the band blindly, I can say I did not know what to expect from them. After hearing the intro to “Hallows”, I can truly say I was hooked, intrigued to listen to the rest of the tracks. Most of the album contains mainly upbeat tracks, as I can fairly say was expected, yet there are a few exceptions. “Life Points” has a softer sound to it, which breaks up the album nicely. In addition it is a true showcase of the vocal talents of the band.
All in all, the band has put out a solid record, with amazing vocals and a nice balance of instrumentals, nothing overpowers another. “Forgetting Something Unforgettable” is entirely worth the money to buy on either iTunes or Amazon. Personally, I can not wait to see what the band comes up with next although they sure have their work cut out for them, as their debut album will be a hard act to follow.

News and Notes
Hope everyone is having a great day today. We have a few little anouncements that do not really relate to one another, but since they are short, we are putting them all together.
We are shutting down our Artist Of The Week (A.O.T.W) contest. In the place of it, we are starting a similar Artist Of The Month (A.O.T.M) contest. We are also introducing a brand new Artist Of The Year (A.O.T.Y) contest. Every A.O.T.M is elegible for the title of A.O.T.Y. For this contest, readers will be voting on their favourite band and then certain ones will be eliminated until we have one left. Our A.O.T.M has been picked, the write up on them should be posted by the middle of the week, so be sure to look for that.
Spring and summer are popular times for concerts and tours. If you are in a band or know of a band touring this season, we would love to know so we can help and promote the tour. You can either get a hold of us in the comments below, by sending us an email, or finding us on Twitter.
In addition, we are looking for bands avaliable for a short interview in the coming weeks. Once again you can get a hold of us with the ways listed above.
Finally, watch for our new logo in the coming days. Thanks for reading, and hope to see you soon!
