New Rock Reviews International is back!


All right, boys and girls. This is gonna be a short one for now.

We're trying to revive this blog. Somehow I thought it would be easier to write two blogs simultaneously but now I've got the time to focus on the English-speaking part of this website a little more.

We received a lot of emails lately from bands requesting reviews for their albums and record companies wanting us to spread their news. Don't worry, it'll all come up soon. Reviews and news.

And this is the new thing. In order to make it easier for us to keep this blog going, we're expanding from writing only reviews to also writing some stories and comments on news from the music (of course mainly rock, blues, and metal) business.

What does this mean? Writing comments on news stories, or even news articles ourselves, helps us a lot in keeping this blog up and running. And of course we can also post more frequently which is, as far as I guess, in everybody's interest.

Does this mean, we're going from reviews to news? Not quite. The substantial element of this website has always been writing reviews and this is not going to change. Writing comments on news stories, however, will fill the gaps between one and the next review. The only change is that we're posting more frequently. Nothing else.

How often do we plan to post now? This depends. I'm trying to publish one post every two days. Ideally, every day. Reviews depend on how many albums we've received. But as soon as there is enough stuff to write about, I would post reviews at least twice a week.

Is there anything else that's going to change? Maybe. We think about posting some videos once or twice a month to help you relax your eyes from reading all the stuff that we're posting ;)

If there are any thoughts or comments about these new plans, or if you know some bands who'd like to be mentioned in a news post or even want us to review their latest album, don't hesitate to comment on this post.

Cheers,

Dan
