NASCENT

Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

Dear Readers:
NASCENT is sleeping, but not dead. We’ll be back sooner than you can say experimental indie rock with new coverage of the best Bay Area bands. Be patient; and in the meantime, catch up on our archives.
Got a band you want us to cover? Want to send us your music?
Peace,
NASCENT

Like the modern music industry, the Bay Area music scene is fractured and in endless pursuit of itself. From Martinez to the Mission, Berkeley to Bernal Heights; between bridge-bonded cities like Richmond and San Rafael, Fremont and San Mateo; insulated, fertile niches thrive across the Bay Area. Individually they are creative, productive, fascinating. But lacking cohesion, together they constitute a music scene that is perpetually nascent. And NASCENT is where they come together.

NASCENT accepts submissions in most music media, but please observe a few guidelines:

1) SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA BANDS ONLY. This means SF, Peninsula, North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay. If your band is not based in one of these areas, it cannot be included in NASCENT;

2) Whenever possible, full albums (EPs okay) should be sent instead of sample tracks, demos, album previews, etc.;

3) Submission of review materials does not guarantee inclusion in NASCENT.
