Every blog these days seems to be doubling as either an indie label, a PR firm, an A&R rep, a publicist, book/promoter of shows, etc. And it makes sense that the people so passionate and knowledgeable about the music industry that they go through the daily grind of blogging for little to no money would be the people most highly suited to carry out these other roles as well.

As always, it includes the best new mix of singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you might want to check out. NEW Singles: [...]

As we mentioned back in February, each month, our great friends at Musical Family Tree will be sending an email, each and every month, to MFT users with a link to download a new mixtape with 15 tracks of local/regional artists. They've all been great, but this month's is especially good! OK, OK, so we're biased on it. The April MFT Mixtape features two Roaring Colonel Records bands, Burnt Ones and We Are Hex. You can [...]
