ISSUE #2

Where local scenes were built on bands
who had honed their skills in the clubs
of their hometown before the wider
world even knew of their existence,
bedroom musicians are now nding
success through the internet before
they've even stepped outside their front
door– presenting them with new
problems.
Even in a world in which everything is
changing, some things are constant: we
still want to hear musicians play live,
and we still look to people to lter the
proliferation of new ideas. I’m sure that
even if the internet has made the death
of the local scene possible, it's not
inevitable. "The internet is all very well
but it merely spreads information.
People are still restricted because they
haven't been digitalised. And its people
who make the decisions, people."
