PRESS

Magnet This is the best music magazine around. Hands down. I still love it even though they don't review anything i send them.
Rockpile Not to beat a dead horse, but I really like this magazine and wish they'd review bands like The Poles, The Willis, etc. Please???
Lollipop you asked for it, you got it. Now please review the records I send you. Not sure what's up with the Goth chicks in T-shirts, though.
Copper Press cool mag that actually is still searching for the great unknowns of the world. the writing is top notch as well.
Pitchfork the reigning assholes of indie rock. so smug in their ways, yet I check the site daily. Yeah, you should review my shit too.
