With production of the first issue of Naptown Punk ready to be released in time for Indpls Zine Fest in late August, I have put a lot of thought into how to build engagement with the print magazine, while also allowing me to pay for printing costs and allow the zine to expand in scope as interviews become available.

I have decided to attempt the launch of my own Patreon, with tiers starting as low as $1 ... for $5 per month you will guarantee yourself an early release copy mailed to you along with a personal note each issue. For $10, you can submit bands for review and participate in the process by submitting questions, via a private Facebook Group I will be creating for my patrons. And for $15, I'll let you sit in with me while I interview your favorite Indianapolis bands, providing you with your own copy of the raw audio of the recording once that issue is published :)

I know I am taking a risk and putting myself out there but I want Naptown Punk to be the voice of Indianapolis punk fans and bands, and I'll need help to make it happen. Please consider joining the fun :)

Stereo RV's "Human" -- see the new video for their soon-to-be pop superhit here first! I've had this earworm in my head for a month now ;)

“In the video for “Human” we wanted to portray real people being honest about what makes them, them. We wanted to portray their triumphs; understand what influences them and how t…

Congratulations to Matthew Worth from Noblesville, who won the "Ask Harley Poe" Contest! He had a great question about Calibretto 13's song "High Five" which I will definitely ask when I sit down and do the official interview :)

Bryan McPherson was astonishingly good at Melody Inn tonight ... one of the best shows I've seen since moving here. It's a shame more of you weren't there to see it live. Here's some photos and footage to show you what you missed out on, and what you should show up for live next time when touring bands are rocking Indy ;)

Last but not least, I present my video of Crowbar performing "High Rate Extinction" at 5th Quarter Lounge! (Plus photos ... though not as many due to bad positioning after the beating I took shooting photos of GOATWHORE)

There’s never a disappointing moment when you’re at a Crowbar show. I love the fact that they bridge the gap between my appreciation of the best elements of doom metal, brooding thunder…

GOATWHORE photos!
5th Quarter Lounge

https://hearhearmusic.com/2016/12/06/live-photos-goatwhore-at-the-5th-quarter-lounge-1252016/

I got my photos, I took my punches, I got a few in of my own, and then got the hell out of the way and enjoyed plenty of amazing metal in the process!

I’ve learned to take my shots in the world of metal. And in this case, to get my shots of New Orleans’ Goatwhore, a band I’ve wanted to see now for months, I had to take a few & #8…
