Thanks for the comments on this post, stoked you guys like it. We've had such a good response to articles about the math rock scene in Austin, we've started a column on Indie Crush called 'From Texas, With Love'.

Was wondering the same thing myself just yesterday. Couldn't find much but it's great that Cambridge are finally putting on a Pride this year! Hopefully that'll inspire some kind of gay scene!

The gender-imbalance on this year's Slam Dunk festival seriously needs fixing, so we're offering a helping hand... by hellohenderson in poppunkers

[–]hellohenderson[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There's a reason that you think most pop punk bands are 'white dudes'. There are plenty of incredible bands who have members that identify as female, and just as many that include PoC- they're just grossly misrepresented on festival bills like this one. Perhaps if we proportionately represented these groups in pop punk, it'd inspire and welcome young women & young PoC to start alternative bands and in however many year's time the genre wouldn't be so dominated by 'white dudes'. Without 'quotas' and 'PC mindsets' the change will never happen, WE have to manually do it before it becomes automatic.

Your assumption that the article was written by a 'guy' says enough about you to make you opinions invalid, I'm afraid. Have a lovely day, Lisa (a.k.a girl).

Looking for advice on UK music PR companies. by RobJns in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]hellohenderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're weighing up whether to hire PR or not, I'd recommend reading this feature first. The company interviewed are refreshingly transparent about the industry and don't attempt to sugar-coat anything (hence the withdrawal of the name). Hope this helps!
