Subscription Information
Subscription Options
I am what they call a "scene lifer" and have deep connections with venues, promoters, fans, artists, and other likeminded outlets. I do this on top of my day job. Believe it or not, but writing about shows on a weekly basis—even when the pickings are slim (or absolutely overwhelming)—and getting it prepped for digital distribution is work. Aside from paid subscriptions and tips, Sound Advice is self-funded and our readership has grown entirely from word of mouth.
Subscriptions help cover operational costs such as hosting and keeps the newsletter free for all to enjoy. We've kept subscription costs as low as possible so they're not a barrier to information and frankly, it's cheaper than most concerts these days. (Subscriptions currently on pause. Check back soon!)
- Free ($0): You get the weekly newsletter. I think it's nice. It has the picks + some additional resources at the bottom to explore.
- Premium ($20/year):The weekly newsletter + additional content, access to the web version and archives, the ability to comment on posts.
Other ways to support
I get it. Like my mom always said, "I'm not Rockefeller!" Here are other ways you can sustain this work.
- Go see the bands and buy their music. We're not doing this for our health.
- If you like what we're doing and find it useful, tell a friend.
- Post your events on local event calendars. (We dig around, but if we don't know about it, how will anyone else?)
- Reply to an email—reader mail is always appreciated.
- Make a one-time donation through the tip jar.
Disclaimer
There may be paid tiers, additional features, and changes to this newsletter's delivery methods in the future. The picks reflect the interests and opinions of the writers. We do not earn commissions or any other financial incentives from links provided on this website or in the newsletter. There will be typos and errors. Corrections may be posted to the website if and when the spirit moves.
Please check the source website for details. The shows may get canceled, moved to different days/locations/etc, shut down, or sell out. Bands may start late because of "punk time," you may run into your ex, or get hurt in the circle pit. We are not responsible for any of that.
If you are a punisher in the replies we reserve the right to cancel your subscription including paid ones, without refund. We have a strict no jerks policy 'round these parts.
