Obscure Sound is an indie music blog that I formed inn February 2006 out of a love for music, journalism, and creative writing. My name is Mike Mineo and I am the founder/editor/writer of this site. After contributing to other music sites for a few years (PopMatters, Stylus) I decided that forming my own site would be fun.

This site’s aim is relatively straightforward: to provide music fans with the latest and greatest music. There is no schedule, but I guarantee that updates will be very frequent.

Music downloads will be in MP3 format, with personal impressions and a link to buy material from the artist beside the link. Musicians make a living too, so I encourage you to buy whatever you like.

Band features provide information on relatively unknown bands that I think others will find enjoyable. I do not care if the band is unsigned or signed, just as long as quality is exhibited. If you are interested in having your band featured, please visit the contact page.

Album reviews and track reviews are personal thoughts on albums and songs. I am not paid by any one to write these, and they are entirely from my own personal opinion and
musical insight. Unless noted otherwise, the rating scale is from 1 to 10 with .5 increments. 10 is a classic, 1 is a bomb.

Other content includes interviews, compilations, editorials, contests, and random tidbits.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for reading.
