Hi all,

I have recently started a music review/underground band website and i'm looking for some feedback on it! If you love music then could you please do me a favour and check it out, and maybe share it with your friends if you like what you see. i try and post new reviews daily!

The URL is - www.thebandwagon.biz

Im also looking for some new writers to produce content for the site, so if you enjoy writing about music and bands then please feel free to get in touch and we can see what happens!

Cheers.

Nice clean design. Maybe have some streaming songs on the site (even a little section on the home page) so people can instantly hear what the new/up and coming artists sound like. Also, a minor thing but maybe include the name of the artist as well as the album title for the reviews. I know which artists made those albums but I suspect not everyone visiting the site will.

Hi Smudged,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at the site. To be honest I hadn't even gave it a second thought about having the artists names on the covers haha, as you say I was just assuming people would know, so I will sort that out! As for the streaming of the music, I was in two minds of doing this, I didn't wan't it too seem 'annoying' if there was music streaming in the background, but I think I will look into the idea of having a 'playlist' section if you will on the homepage.

Thanks for the feedback!

Chris.

I thought the site looked ok, but tbh I don't go on a lot of music review sites.

But I am listening to Royal Thunder now from your description in the Baroness review they sounded my type of thing, and I was right, so well done.

Yeah, I mean a little playlist/audio player with some featured tracks that people can listen to if they want. I can't think of a site at the moment that has a good one. I think you can create one using Soundcloud but there are other more customisable options that may fit in better with the look of the site.
