Testing 1,2,3,.....

This is a test, this is only a test. Please be advised that The Steamroller will be back up and running very soon. I am currently working on a new design for Worn Records and "Steamroller Music" as it will now be called. I will once again be looking for writers, readers, and bands to involve themselves with this indie music blog. I will not be bringing back the "indie band showdown", at least not right away. I will however be looking for bands of quality only to participate in some new features I will be rolling out on this web site. I will post more details in the near future. Thanks to those of you who have been involved with The Steamroller in the past, and I look forward to making Steamroller Music an excellent resource for bands and music lovers alike!

Where are we?

As many of you have noticed, or perhaps you haven't, The Steamroller E-Zine has been inactictive for some time. We have had a difficult time keeping a consistent writing team, and this has forced us to re-think our format. At present we have not decided whether or not to continue with the indie band showdown, or simply do away with it and try to bring it back in the future.

I would also like to thank all the bands who have submitted their music for review, and apologize to those who we have not yet reviewed. In the meantime, while we work out our new format, if anybody would be interested in contributing to this blog in any way please email us with your ideas, comments, suggestions etc. We want to continue serving the independent music scene, and hope to be back on track soon. Thanks for your patience.

good times, bad times...ya know i've had my share

Yes! All the rumors are in fact true. To my millions and million of fans in the indie music world, I would like to announce that I am stepping down as "Lord Steamroller". Please try to hold back the tears. I know it's hard to comprehend, even more so than the Oilers trading Ryan Smyth, but we must accept and move on. Fortunately for the music world, I will still be working with The Steamroller, but in a lesser role. I will be contributing music articles, and reviewing bands along side my fellow Steamroller reviewers.

I leave you in very capable hands. Effective immediately, Courtney Heard will be taking over day to day operations of the soon to be greatest indie music blog on the web. This change will allow us to expand, grow, and improve our site to better serve our readers as well as our featured artists. Thanks to all the bands and writers who have participated since we launched last year, and I look forward to a new and improved Steamroller.

Thanks
John Simmonds
