Update

Hey,

So, apparently some people are still coming to this blog since I still get emails about it so I thought I had to clear things up a bit. Let me tell you first, your emails please me. Obviously as you can see I quit doing this, for several reasons. I really didn't have enough time to keep it updated, because of work, school and let's be honest, also because of my social life. Several personal issues also prevented me from getting on the Internet to update this and also to write reviews I said I would, so I would like to apologize to the bands/labels that contacted me and never got what they asked for, I really couldn't do it. I'm sorry.
I now work for the French website Alternativ News, which keeps everyone updated about the whole alternative/punk/hardcore/emo/screamo/indie/whatever scene. They were already posting some of my reviews and interviews on their site but I'm now working full-time for them. I post news, write a lot of reviews about every genre possible but especially hardcore since I am the only fan of the genre over there, live reports and I especially do a lot of interviews. Bands like Anberlin, Chiodos, Yellowcard, The Gaslight Anthem, Rufio, Converge, Crime In Stereo, Title Fight, The Wonder Years, La Dispute and many others already accepted to answer my questions. The website is obviously in French but ALL the interviews are also posted in English so you English-speaking readers can still enjoy our little chat ups with your favorite bands !
I'm also doing a radio show in Bordeaux, the French city where I'm studying. It's called Cruise Control (hopefully you'll get the reference), I'm doing this with three other friends who I put on shows in Bordeaux with, we joke around but mostly we play punk/hardcore stuff. If you're fluent in French, you can listen to it here every next Tuesday, from 9 to 10 P.M. (French time). You can check out our past shows and playlists on Facebook.

Alright, that's all, thanks to all of you who came over to read my reviews and/or interviews, I really appreciated. Hopefully I'll be doing something in English again soon !
Go to shows, support the scene and let's keep it alive and vibrant. See you soon !

Romain.
