SoundsXP
SoundsXP was a UK based music webzine. It was set up in 2001 and entirely based on contributions from unpaid writers.[1] The site mostly published reviews and interviews covering primarily the indie, indiepop, shoegaze, folk, alt-country and electronica musical genres. It also covered alternative music news and free MP3 downloads.[2] The front page included a regularly updated music player which showcased current songs recommended by the writers.[citation needed] In addition, SoundsXP had forums to allow for discussion and comments on the articles, as well as live event notices which were free to use for bands and promoters for publicity.[3] The site organised a number of live events over the years featuring artists such as the Broken Family Band, the Bishops, Younghusband, Pete and the Pirates and many more.[4][5]
SoundsXP ceased updating in 2017, due to the increased use in use of social media and free music platforms such as YouTube and Spotify
Record Label
[edit]In 2006 the webzine set up a label, Sounds eXPerience, with limited 7" releases by Piney Gir's Country Roadshow, the Schla La Las, the Bridge Gang, Santa Dog and a split release by Esiotrot and Foxes!.
