May 2025

3 Welcome to our May edition! This month, we dive deep into the passion, creativity, and hustle that keep music alive and thriving. From discovering the Top 4 Rock Bands You Need to Hear Now to mastering the essentials of merch and stage presence, we are bringing you the tools and inspiration to fuel your own journey. We’re proud to feature Ashes Fall and share their story of resilience and fire, alongside powerful insights into songwriting, streaming, concert photography, and more. Whether you’re chasing your next big moment or just soaking in the scene, there’s something here to ignite your spark. A special thanks to Rich Taylor for sharing both personal coaching wisdom and expert photography advice this month. Let’s keep pushing boundaries and chasing the music that moves us.
