lokithelion Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm putting out notice here first. I need some writers from my webzine www.mammothpress.com. This is what I need from you. Real Name: Three favorite bands: Three least favorite bands: Top five albums: Number of reviews you can provide per week if given records to cover: Can you do interviews: Previous experience (if any, it's not needed): Finally I need a review of a recently released record. Score it 1 to 10 and include a RIYL (recommended if you like) at the end. Perks of the job are simple. You'll get pre-release music (often before it leaks), free tickets to shows for interviews/show reviews (after you've proven you're reliable), and assorted goodies as they come in. Oh and you'll have a presence on a respected music site that's read by between 3 to 8 thousand people a month and has debuted album streams from Against Me!, I Am the Avalanche, and Rocky Votolato. It's been awhile since we've been able to do streams because I'm really the only current writer. I've been trying to do a review a day, and managed to nail it up until this month, but frankly its exhausting to be the only one writing. I want some people who are reliable to help pick up the slack so I can focus on making the site better. We're trying to start covering a wider range of music. I've kind of turned the focus on hardcore/metal for a bit, so if you're into other genres that would make me insanely happy. Still, I'm willing to pick up another metal/hardcore dude if the writing chops are there. You'll have the freedom to say whatever you want as long as you say it well. I dont edit my writers thoughts, just their commas. Send all applications to john (at) mammothpress.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akross Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'd like to do this, but I can't guarantee that I could even complete one review a week with the random chaos that is my life these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I wanted to do drunk reviews for Punknews, because Brian kept sending me THE WORST stuff to review and I couldn't listen to it sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyk36 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 yea I'd definently be into this, John. I'm gonna start putting the email together now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 i'm definitely interested but i can't say my knowlege of music is as vast as some of you dudes on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hmmm...I think I'd like to do this very much. My tastes are all across the board, but I could fine tune myself to a specific genre for the website. I like a lot of pop punk and indie/folky stuff which is kind of opposite of metal/hardcore (even though I listen to metal and hardcore bands too). I also go to tons and tons of shows and have no problem talking to bands. Yep, I think I'm going to send you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'm working on my email now. I listen to a lot of ska and pop punk. Plus I go to shows like once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 on second thought i should probably just apply. does this need to be in asap or can i have a couple days to write a review to send to you? i'm a bit swamped with schoolwork at the moment.

thesupervillain Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How long are you going to wait before you start choosing people? I really want to do this but I just don't have time tonight to do it. If I get it to you by the weekend will that be too late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Email sent. Hopefully it will make for a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
