Featured on FBi Radio’s Out Of The Box and finalist in the 2012 & 2013 Pedestrian.TV Ultrabook Blogster Awards, we are continually looking for new ways to improve our format and content, to create a space where you can discover and rediscover the best music.

Jones, Mark Gardener (Ride), Eric Burdon, John Stirratt (Wilco), Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs), Lucinda Williams, Grasshopper (Mercury Rev), Jason Isbell, and many more.
As well as managing Doubtful Sounds I also regularly contribute to Rhythms magazine, FasterLouder, The Music, UnderTheRadar, The Big Issue and Vice and have had work published with The Dwarf, The Brag, Wireless Bollinger, Live Guide, Germinal Press, A Fine Line, Real Groove and Cyclic Defrost.

Hi there,

Greetings! Might you want to review the Bifrost Arts’ Christmas cd, “Salvation Is Created?” Happy to send. Lenny
Very nice blog… oddly, my band has a song called “Doubtful Sound”, written a while ago. Might be of interest sound-wise, too. We’re one of those Silver Lake (CA) bands, I guess:
