MusicianTuner.com has the looks of an “up-and-comer”. The music magazine existing today (even the indie ones) continue to let low grade, “Hype-Hype” artists invade. If you see what MTV has become since its inception you can see a perfect example of dilution of quality and manipulation of the audience it once held.

As of today most of us probably don’t watch too much MTV. How many other music related magazines, channels, and yes, even bands can you name that have been guilty of the same demise? Remember punk rock? There’s the point! Punk rock “needed to go” according to mainstream media. Its rebellious attitude and “abstinence from mainstream” was an enormous cock block to marketing and music industry in general. And by now punk has had its day. The genre is watered down so much so that most of its reoccurrence is in artists being “punk influenced” and the occasional, temporary Mohawk. Aside from that age old genre of head bangers.

What other forms of music or style have you seen disappear?

According to recent history every ten years styles return for seconds. In this day and age and as 2011 comes to a close that means these genres you have missed so much are going to return with web 3.0 as a vicious weapon! Real musicians’ music and talented acts from across the globe, trendy and the not so popular must be covered! And Musician Tuner Magazine is gearing up to bring it to you via an amazing interface you have never seen before.

Remember ‘Back to the Future’? Why don’t we have flying cars? But even closer to reality, why don’t we see MUCH MORE stunning websites? These two issues will be addressed with the launch of Musician Tuner. A great music magazine via web 3.0 tricks, turns and surprises with content regarding real music and bands we really want to see and hear about. Prepare to be entertained as ‘The Musician’s Music News’ launches October 1st at MusicianTuner.com
