The Underrated Blog: Bend to the Brakes

About Underrated...

Underrated Magazine began as a radical idea by a frustrated 19-year-old wannabe journalist. After living in New York City for a year, she realized that there was great music out there going unheard. With a computer and a dream in hand, Underrated was born. Started in 2003 as a print ‘zine, and moved to an online publication in 2005, the site has explored and shared great underground music from all over the world. The Underrated Blog breathed fresh air into the publication; giving readers instant access to music, show reviews, and the daily exploits of a crazed fan.

Underrated aims to bridge the gap between musician and fan, and to take an open discussion of contemporary music and the industry to the streets. While the magazine itself is no longer in print, underratedmagazine.com provides readers with interviews, features, podcasts, events and a daily blog.

You are underrated. So are we. Let’s rock.

Bend to the Brakes

I'm just beginning to get over my sickness, and yet now that my apartment is zero degrees (haven't put in the gas, yet) and this rain is ungodly, I fear my recovery will be postponed. That's ok. I have a lot of work to do in these next few weeks.

If you are cool and smart, not like me of course, you will head over to Sin-E tonight to see The Diggs play at a Hurricane Relief benefit show. I unfortunately cannot make it and no it’s not just because Lost is on, I have a long day today and a lot to do when I get home. But you have no excuses. They go on at 9 tonight. However, I can tell you that this fabulous band may or may not be playing at this fabulous show at Crash Mansion on Nov 18. Hmmm...

Speaking of that show...you are coming right?

Another band that may or may not be playing at that show is currently on the NME tour with The Rakes and Louis XIV. And before they grace the cover of Underrated Magazine, they got a nice write-up in NME's Radar section. Click on the picture below to read the piece.
