Something About Us

Who’s behind Something About Music?

Something About Music took a hiatus while we moved to the ATL but we're back. The goal is still to keep you updated on everything in the music biz from new videos, tech, tours, albums and artists. Since we're based in Atlanta- we'll keep you up to date on the local jams. We don’t get paid and we haven’t made any money off the site. We’re just listening to what we want and giving you what we think is good, or bad enough that you have to hear. If you want to comment or get your music on here: smethngabtmusic@gmail.com or click the Contact drop down. Let’s just say we know a little something about music, so keep up with us.
