The Underrated Blog: Better Late Than Never

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.

Better Late Than Never

So we've only got a couple days until Friday night's craziness. With JAYMAY, A Brief Smile, The Diggs, an open bar AND free admission...you thought it couldn't get any crazier,right?

Wrong.

We have another act to add to the bill. A good one. An Underrated favorite. We first met this band en route to Brooklyn, terribly lost. We've seen them play countless gigs in New York, ran to Virgin Megastore to buy their Virgin Recommended EP (a first for an unsigned band), and knew they were onto something big from the very beginning. We've always wanted them to play one of our shows, and so when a last minute cancellation found them in New York for the weekend, we jumped on the chance.

That's right.

The Upwelling are playing on Friday. You don't want to miss this.
