About Hanging Sounds

This blog is the outlet for all my musical passions, new music that I discover, old favourites and everything in between.

The blog will contain music reviews, music recommendations, interviews, featured bands, albums and even focus on styles/genres, as well as occasional news about bands and musicians.

There is no predominant musical style covered here. It will run the gamut from rock and metal to jazz, folk, neo-classical and electronic; from ambient to experimental to psychedelic to progressive and avant-garde.
Something for most people.

Please, feel free to comment on the posts, saying what you think of the music discussed (or telling me how bad my writing is).
