Our main goal is to always present and promote music in our scene. Nothing saddens me more than hearing people say something like "Rozz Williams who?" If you want to be a part of a sub-culture you owe it to yourself to learn about it. Read up on the past, find out where bands came from and who inspired who. Get a firm hold of what this scene has meant before in order to understand where it is now. We feel that there are some books that are vital to this quest for musical knowledge. They are books that I read and still use as reference material in writing feature stories. Infact, we say they're required reading for our subculture. Now go get 'em... and read up.
