Intentional listening. Band by band. Album by album. Song by song.
Every modern music lover knows that nagging feeling - there are a bunch of bands you KNOW you should have listened to by now to but you never got around to. And if you keep opening an app and pressing shuffle every time you want to hear some music, that's the way it's gonna stay.
It's time to change. It's time to focus your ears and your mind.
Follow us podcast by podcast as we go album by album, song by song, following a band's career arc from debut to final album.
Become part of a global movement that rejects the random shuffle and re-embraces the album.
Listen intentionally. Let's rock.
