Given we all live in a decidedly niche music sphere, I thought it might be helpful if we share our tips/tricks for finding new artists. Here's my tried and true: everynoise.com

I'm glad you asked this question, I've stagnated on my music discovery lately.

I've been a broken blob since a few months before COVID, and it's been hard to get back to being myself, but I used to discover things through the live music scene. This isn't practical advice though, because I was aware of what was going on because I was a drummer without a band, but a willingness to sub in whenever it was convenient. So many bands are desperate for a drummer that they'll even take a mediocre one like me. It meant I got to play alongside and hang out with some really good bands (as well as some shit ones, but the live scene do be like that)
