Part music critic, part culture analyst, part media researcher and all music fan, Andrew's enthusiasm is a refreshing tonic to jaded sonic cynicism. Rather than pretending to know the answers to the music industry's problem, Andrew's journalistic approach asks questions that help the changing industry better understand itself. Andrew writes for Rave Magazine, Mess+Noise, FourThousand, and his blog (http://andrewmcmillen.com). He's also a columnist for The Music Network, and he formerly contributed irregularly to FasterLouder.

In November of 2007, Elliot Aronow co-founded the world's first ad-supported online music label/blog network, RCRD LBL and Downtown Records where he works as the Creative Director and VP of A and R. Following his graduation from the Princeton Record Exchange (and Rutgers University) in 2002, Aronow quickly hustled his way into a gig at the internationally-distributed music and lifestyle magazine the FADER at the age of 22. While writing and editing for the FADER, Aronow provided vital early coverage to the movers and shakers in the bustling music scene in NYC, as well as abroad in Europe and Canada.

After moving to Brisbane in 2001 to begin his higher education, Cameron Smith became interested in the city's local music scene. As with many country kids who have moved to the big smoke over the years, he was specifically drawn towards the more independent and 'underground' aspects of the music community. In the ensuing period he has been a part of a myriad of bands, organised and promoted many (small) shows, and begun a small recording studio to provide local musicians with an inexpensive method of documenting their music.

In 2006 Jerry Soer with Dom Alessio started Who The Bloody Hell Are They?, a music blog that aims to catalog the Australian music scene, one band at a time.

When he’s not out looking for new bands to blog, Jerry also manages artists such as Miami Horror, Young and Restless, Parades, Cassian, Beaufort and Ooh-Ee.
