I found these guys while reading a review of Lana Mir’s upcoming solo album.
I am not sure sure if they are a play to pay site and the writing is ok but a little useless. However, as a research tool for upcoming releases they are awesome.
Here is what Direct Current says about itself:
“Direct Current is all about music…good music and great music. This blog works with artists, labels and distribution companies to bring the latest news, information, release dates and more about artists creating interesting, individual and eclectic music.
Our focus is primarily on artists that we think are more than the “flavor of the month”. Some would call it “adult music” but we know this isn’t an “age” thing, it’s about perception, individual taste and appreciation.
We lean on adult pop, rock, singer/songwriters, adult alternative, soul, world music, crossover jazz and simply those artists that make us go “hmmm.” We’re constantly scouring an extensive array of sources for news and information about artists we care about — and hope that you’ll discover and appreciate the music we’re bringing to you.
You won’t find much hip-hop, hard rock, emo, metal, screamo, teen pop, classical, oldies, geezer rock, dance music, Christian, Latin, hard core or a lot of other categories. Not because we don’t respect what these genres bring to the big picture…we just want to keep our vision on those artists that we like to listen to. It’s pretty much as simple as that.
We encourage your comments and feedback!
