ping: All fans of Local Music

just to let you know I have started what I call the "Teesside Band Archive" on soundclick. The aim is to build a collection of local music (principally rock/punk/indie) for free download and/or listening.
Over the weekend I will be uploading a number of songs from the 1977-80 period (mostly punk/new wave).
If there are any current bands who want to feature please let me know - and if there are any of the old bands who do not want there music to feature, I will remove them, no problem.
Its not a money making venture, and will hopefully allow people anywhere in the world to enjoy some of our local bands.

Comments are welcome.

Thanks for that. Have been looking for some Blitzkreig Bop stuff for a while to replace the singles I used to have years ago.
Cheers

Great idea Fastcakes - is this something you'd like publicising in Gazette or Link mag? Or do you think it works best fairly underground and building up bit by bit?

Thanks for this Mr.Cakes - I can see hours of nostalgia ahead for this old punk. Top site, I hope it takes off.

I don't think so, nothing "official" anyway - there may be some live stuff, but i'm not certain. watch this space.
