I will keep this short and sweet for my reasoning behind everything.
Back in 2010, I set up a blog called Rock Reviews 24/7 where I wrote about various album releases and shows I attended and the blog looked awful. I bought a domain name and changed it up a little over the course of my time (all whilst hating the name). I never thought I’d get even the slightest bit of attention so when I first started getting requests for reviews and guestlists, I was STOKED. It was exciting and running this got me a lot of places and I found out about a lot of cool bands and things writing on here. I changed the name to Support Yr Scene but once I got to university, the entire thing dwindled and I always had it in mind that I would do more. But I hated the interface of this site.
There’s still some pieces that I think I did a really good job on, but others I got lazy and it fucking sucked. I wanted to write elsewhere and not have pressure here. I’ve been invited to write for http://wakecollective.co.uk and I’m excited because there’s a completely new opportunity there and I can get back to writing properly and have more freedom.
If you stumble across this, then feel free to give me shit to review on there: obviously it’s mainly punk/emo unlike here. But I prefer that. Let’s look forward to the future.
