Howdy!

Welcome to Loud Loop Press! I know what you’re thinking: Oh sweet. Just what the world needs, another indie music blog. Aren’t there enough Pitchfork rip-offs already?

Yes, the Internet is saturated with a number of music web sites, but I’m fairly confident in saying we’re a bit different than the rest. For one, we’ll try our damnedest to cater to music news that impacts the city of Chicago (Loud Loop…get it? Yeah.) We’re a Chicago based blog, so we want to keep things as hyperlocal as possible.

For example, we’ll post music news on national acts only if it’s relevant to Chicago…like say a major act is coming to the Metro in a month or two. But we really want to help out the local scene by shining the spotlight on lesser known Chicago acts that we think are pretty cool, and you might find cool as well.

We’ll also do all the good ol’ stuff you’ll find on most music blogs: Album reviews, live show reviews, editor and contributor commentary, etc. But, most importantly, we’ll write everything in an entertaining manner. So feel free to comment (Yes, we allow reader comments!) on anything, and let us know how we’re doing.

So enough introductions, lets get to business. It’s record store day (yay!), so when you get back from the store and throw your purchases on the turntable, log on to loudlooppress.com for some sweet reads.

Thanks for your support and we hope you enjoy it!

Sincerely,

LoudLoopPress Founder/Editor
