Band promo photos! We love them! We need them! I need them, to put in the feature image of my music blog. Last time on "behind the promo photo" I asked Chris Bavaria from the band Praise about a photo they took involving a speedy slide down a

As soon as MIDI Bunny's "Cecily falls from the Sky Tower into HELL (or, Falling Down Part 3)" hit my inbox earlier this year, I knew there was something special happening. The self-described "Furry fifth wave emo internet band," led by the duo Cecily
A growing 'content vertical' on I Enjoy Music seems to be deep dives on music moments / trends / communities from people who have spent plenty of time in the trenches—like this big report on jam bands (and the internet conversations surrounding them) by Jerry Koenigsmark: stand by your

The people in front of me in the Sphere security line fucked up. Dead & Co had already started playing, you could hear tinkling guitars piped all through the interior of the venue. We were the last stragglers in the TSA-esque experience that precedes all large format concerts now, and
'It's been awhile' but we are back with a new edition of Music Moots™, the blogseries where I ask people I know either from the internet or real life to recommend me a song they like, and then I listen to the song and then write
I continue on in my quest to hear from the creative people who help get music up and out and wherever it needs to go. Album art illustrator, music video director, music festival booker, record store owner, these are just a few of the people making music Work. A moment
