I and a few of my friends are starting up a music review website.

urockreview dot com
http://www.urockreview.com/

It's just a placeholder at the moment, but I'm working on the coding as we speak. We need some people to help fill up the content. You will not be paid for your work, unfortunately, this is a volunteer basis only.

We need some reviewers whose preferences lean a certain way. We're going to do our best to have every one of us review as much as we can, but to be honest, we're not going to give the most flattering reviews to things we deem inferior. It's unavoidable, but it's the truth.

We need reviewers in these departments:

Mainstream Rock
Hardcore
Black Metal
Classic Rock
Death Metal
Emo
Alternative Rock
Punk
Indie

Here's how to apply:

Review an album in one of the genres above.
Make it decently long(250 words is about right).
Scale of 1-10, no decimals.
Best Song/Worst Song
List what kind of people should buy the album.

For examples, go to myspace dot com slash urockreview
http://www.myspace.com/urockreview

Things to consider:

Grammar and Spelling: If neither are important to you, then your review won't be important to us.
Musical knowledge: We're not asking a lot, just that you know what you're talking about.
Logic: Don't say an album sucks cause it's metal, emo, alt-rock, etc. I really don't care that you hate that kind of music, give me reason to believe what you're saying.

That's about it. Once you're done, send it over to urockreview@mail.com

Thanks for your time.

Are you still in need of Metal (Death, Black..etc..) Reviewers? I'd happily take the time to type out intelligent reviews for that particular genre, as well as get a listen to some new shit.

I'd rather not get into any of the other genres, other than say classic rock or SOME alternative...as my opinion would already be fairly biased I'm sure.

So let me know, and I'll fill out an Application.

I could do metal reviews that are informed and educated. I know tons about it, as it is quite evident on these boards. I'd be happy to do some reviews, I'll toss one up in a bit.

I'd be interested in indie/punk reviews. About what time will you be looking for these reviews?

Ninja: Yes, we're still looking for more reviewers in all areas. Please, feel free to drop a review on us.

Metallic: Thanks, look forward to your application.

Banzai: There's no rush, whenever you're ready, go ahead and send one over...

Alright, I'll probably toss one up in the coming week. I'm thinking of doing the new "The Old Dead Tree" release as a review. Incredible album.
