This Noise Is Ours 10th Anniversary Digital Compilation Is Live!

Today marks the 10th anniversary of This Noise Is Ours. I started in the blog in 2010 (back then it was called Stay Ahead). I really had no idea what I was doing but I was excited about heavy music and was just getting into record collecting. A few years down the line, I changed the name to This Noise Is Ours. 

I've always been bowled over by the support the blog's received and by the friends I've made, both in real live and online. This compilation gathers together music created by friends and bands that mean a lot to me. Some I've feature before, some I haven't. They all share the same passion for music as I do. I feel proud of the fact that I've kept this thing running as long as I have and I hope to continue to do so for years to come. Please download this comp, listen to it and share it. Thanks for your support. P.S. please support the bands included here.

10th Anniversary Digital Compilation News and Artwork Reveal

In a month's time, it'll be 10 years to the day since I started what is now This Noise Is Ours. To celebrate that amazing milestone, I'm putting together a special digital compilation that will be free to download via the blog's bandcamp page. It's been 4 years since my last 'Reverberations' comp, so I wanted this one to be special. It incorporates music from bands I've covered on here, as well a music by friends I've met and bonded with along the way. As with my two previous compilations, there will be something for everyone, from acoustic emo to punk, metal and noise. 

I wanted to use this update to also reveal the artwork for the comp, which is based on a photo that was taken by my good friend Jesper (of Young Mountain/Nathan Aeli, both of whom will be appearing on the comp!):-

I am going to begin prep work this weekend, prior to the comps release next month. So far 19 bands are participating in it with more still to be added. If you're in a band that fits and would like to be included, there's still time to send a track across. Please send a WAV format track of your choice to tnio@outlook.com before 21st October. Thanks!
