Write for the guide

Every field note is written by someone who knows the music first-hand. If you grew up on fanzines and tape trades, played the clubs, ran a label or a radio show, or just can’t stop arguing about who influenced whom, we’d like to hear from you.

  • Write field notes: two or three sentences on why a band matters.
  • Take on deep dives: album reviews, the story, the records to start with.
  • Lead a family: look after a branch of the tree and its bands.
  • Every piece carries your name and links to your contributor page.
What do you know best? Tick as many as you like.
How you came to it: fanzines, tape trading, playing, promoting, radio, record shops… A few lines is plenty.
One per line: blogs, zines, reviews, socials. Not written much yet? Leave it blank; tell us about you instead.
