Welcome to the first New Music Spotlight. We get lots of music sent to us, which we love. We've been trying to come up with a way to share bands and artists we think you should check out. After great consideration, we've come up with the "New Music Spotlight" a place where you'll find new music to watch and listen to. The music will cross genres and will be from around the world, far and wide.
This time around is going to be a quick hits post - we're going to give you the basics and let you decide who you should check out further.
