I love listening to music and I love sharing music on this blog. I’ve had some great help from guys like Jordan and the site’s viewer base is growing weekly. As much as I enjoy posting I just can’t keep doing it daily so I’m always looking for potential authors to add to the SoundSuck lineup.
If you love new and independent music and think you could contribute a blog post every once in awhile (anywhere from once a week to once a month) please contact me via email: shoook@gmail.com.
Thanks - Ryan

A few days ago I caught up with Dustin Aguilar, half of the new band Darcy. I’ve been keeping tabs on these guys for awhile so I thought what better way to introduce the band than with an interview. I asked them a few questions, let them speak for themselves, and let you decide if they really are SoundSuck material.

Devin Davis released his debut LP, Lonely People of the World Unite, to a decent amount of fanfare. It got some blog coverage and was featured in some other online publications, but I still feel it didn’t get as much publicity as it deserved. Since I didn’t have a blog back when it was released, I feel its my delayed duty to share this older album so that you might familiarize yourself with Mr. Davis before the release of his upcoming and currently untitled album due out later this year.

Well it’s February which means today SoundSuck celebrates its 1st month of existence. We’ve acquired a few new writers along the way, found some great artists, made a few new friends, and really appreciate the people that have been coming back to the site and who’ve helped us get this far. We’d also like to thank John Otjen for hosting us.
In celebration of this momentous occasion we’re sharing the first SoundSuck Mixtape- a compilation of what we feel are the ten best tracks from the past month:
