Webzine Looking for Album Reviewers (Telecommute)

2009-10-28T18:49:06-05:00

Two years ago, StereoSubversion.com was launched as a webzine with a tagline of "Meaningful Music Exists." In that time, we've interviewed over 350 artists and reviewed over 1,000 albums and now we're looking to take things to the next level.

Currently in a redesign phase, we're looking for a couple more Album Reviewers to bring aboard and round out our staff. We want to speak with the same thoughtfulness and meaning about the art as we expect from the artist, so we're not looking for the next music snob or pretentious snark. We respect the creative process and all involved, so for us this holds a level of fragility on all sides - the artist and the critic.

What do we cover? Recent interviews include Atmosphere, Lucinda Williams and Drive-By Truckers and upcoming features include Modest Mouse, Islands and the like. We could especially use some hip-hop reviewers, but we're open to talented writers passionate about any flavor of music.

That being said, there's no pay for album reviews at this time, so know that going in. But we do pay for features and there's a chance to work up into that. Ultimately, we're looking for someone who loves free music, free concerts and can intelligently discuss their passion for music in a meaningful way. Check out the site - stereosubversion.com - and then get back with us if interested.
