Happy Holidays from Uncharted!

As some of you may have noticed, the blog has been at a stand still for quite some time. The reason behind this is simple, I have a lot of different changes going on in my life and am currently unavailable to commit to the blog. This will all change January 2nd.

I, joeEFFINGmayo, will be relocating to Biloxi, Mississippi next month. I will also begin working on the blog twice as hard as before.

So, Happy Holidays everyone! I'll see you all next year!

P.S. Also, I need bands, music bloggers, and show promoters to let me know if they want to be featured on the blog!

Uncharted Around The World 2011

    So, I recently decided to open the doors to unsigned bands all around the world, but for a limited time. The response over twitter was fantastic and several great bands emailed me. This week, the blog will feature several UK bands, because UK bands flooded my inbox. And next week, I hope to maybe get a bit more diverse in the country category! I hope you guys enjoy!

Update: Unsigned Artist of the Week

    Hey everyone! Me again. I've got some pretty awesome news for you guys! I, joeEFFINGmayo, am now running the Unsigned Artist of the Week over at The Comedy Point website!
    Recently, Soul Joel contacted me about taking over the feature and naturally, I accepted. So I will now be selecting the radio show's Unsigned Artist of the Week which will be featured on the website in a blog post every Friday and a member of the band will be interviewed the following Tuesday live on the show!
    So that's that! Now the best bands may have an additional opportunity for exposure! I'm just that much more awesome! Follow me on twitter and run over to The Comedy Point and give my UAOTW blog post, featuring metal band, Khaos Ordinance!

Update: The Return

    Two weeks. Two long weeks. It's been too long. Where did Joe go? Why has he left us? Don't think I didn't imagine what the underground world might have said in my absense. I'm glad to inform you that I have not left you, my dears. I am still here. We hit 10,000 views and all of a sudden I went missing. I'm sorry everyone, but I took a vacation, and then some.
    I believe I owe you guys an explanation, huh? Well, I moved back home to wrapped things up here before I leave the midwest in mid-December. Unfortunately, I left behind an important part of my blogging routine, my USB drive. I asked my family to send it to me via mail, but I have lost hope. I dug through several hundred emails searching for everything I needed. It took lots of time, but I believe I have gotten most everything sorted out.
    Things SHOULD be back to normal, starting tomorrow (Monday). I'm going to start the week off with local band, Sleeze. And some bigger bands later in the week, so follow the Twitter for your lovely update needs. I've decided to do less link whoring and more tweeting. I know how being reminded every hour can be annoying. So, glad to be back doing what I enjoy doing. I shouldn't be disappearing for a long time (at least not until 25,000 views)

P.S. over 800 views in my absence. Wow! 800 views and I wasn't even regularly updating anything, you guys are amazing! xoxo

Blog Update (July 29th, 2011)

      Apart from kicking down the doors for bands throughout the USA and Canada, there have been several changes on the blog that I wish to address. First off, the blog now runs Monday through Friday, I'm getting weekdays off, punks. And the new logo. Any thoughts? I think it's incredibly attractive in the way only a logo can be. Of course, my opinion is bias and doesn't matter.
      Anyway, early this morning, the blog had some work done. Let's call it a facelift because it has noticeably changed, but has not been changed too drastically. Just a simple reorganizing, nothing to worry about. You can still recognize it. I just wanted to have a quick rundown of new stuff. Including a sexy new band rating system.
      Now, as many of you might already know, the blog features a Popular Post section. Previously, it was located in the sidebar and fairly noticeable. I've made sure that not only can you not miss it, but you can get a quick peek into the contents which gives the reader more information than the previous photo and post title.
Notice the sexy post summaries.
      Also, I've included a new rating system for the band featured in each article. You can let everyone and the band know just what you think about them with a single click of the mouse. If only everything in life was this easy!   
      
The Three Different Ratings
  • Wtf Bro? - This is exactly as it sounds. This band stinks so bad, you want to smack babies. 
  • Cool - The band was decent. They weren't too bad, but they weren't orgasmic either. 
  • Excellent! - The band is what every unsigned band should hope to be! They are underground Gods!
Oh, look! Someone thought Another Step Further was Excellent!
       If you notice, on the right hand side of the blog, there is and advertisement that is ALWAYS THERE! Rawr Creations does all kinds of really neat stuff. They can design most anything for you, from T-shirts to album covers, and even a website! Of course, with all great things comes a price tag, but you'll be surprised what name dropping Joe Mayo or Uncharted Music News will do for you. Spoiler Alert: It gets you a discounted rate! Cue the cheering!
Oh baby, you know you Love a little discount!
      There are several tiny little differences now, but I won't be getting into the nitty gritty details. I would, however, like to ask everyone a small tiny favor. If you haven't noticed, the blog has small ads all over the place. I would like to encourage you all to click on any advertisements that might be of interest to you. They are all google ads so they won't contain anything awful. Every advertisement click helps the blog just a little bit! I'd Love it if you could do that for me! (Don't go on a clicking fest. Google will pistol whip me)
Don't these advertisement look clickable? AND they're content  aware! 
      Another small favor. Google now allows you to +1 things you find in google search. If you would google search Uncharted Music News and click on the itty bitty +1 button, that would help so much!
It turns such a pretty shade of Blue! I suggest playing Eiffel 65 while clicking.
       That should cover most everything I wanted to say. Thanks to everybody who is supporting the blog. Thanks to all the bands and everyone who runs over and likes the Facebook page! (Hint, hint)

P.s. This post counts as today's post. Also, don't be shy with the commenting. I Love reading your sexy words.

P.p.s. I use the word "sexy" alot. This is why I choose to write the articles in the third person.

INK coming to Midwest, Alanas Mark to open; Look I'm Burning gives out album; AJTF surprise?

Alanas Mark
      The date is set for the 26th of June, Where The Sky Meets The Sky, another national act, will also be playing. The entry fee will be $12 and the show is all ages. With proper 21+ I.D. drinks will be available. Read about area band Alanas Mark on Uncharted!


The Sights Set North Agency
      Yesterday, The Sights Set North Agency, a booking and management agency based out of Detroit, MI, announced that they would be bringing Ice Nine Kills to Spurgeons Bay in Dixon, IL. Area band, Alanas Mark, is set to open for the national act along with Sworn In, and MY OH MY.


      
Look, I'm Burning
      At 900 Facebook 'likes', Look, I'm Burning announced on the band FB page that they will be releasing their entire album for free as a celebratory promotion, but only until they reach 1000 Facebook likes. On Facebook, the announcement read:
"Dear friends, family, fans, and supporters of Look, I'm Burning,you're in for a treat. At 900 facebook likes, we're going to put our entire album + cover up for free cd quality download, but only until we reach 1000 likes. Once we get there, we're taking down all but a few of the songs on our Bandpage, so stay tuned if you like free music, and spread the word of our music."
      The band is currently  at a little over 933 likes, take advantage of the free downloads and share them with other music enthusiasts! Download! Catch them for $5 on the 30th of April at The Loft in Madison, WI.

A Journey To Fall
      Last Thursday, A Journey To Fall had an interesting announcement on their Facebook page , it was as follows:
"You guys got us past 2,000! we are very thankful to everyone. So very soon we will be posting something brand new for you. We are going to need your help though. Everyone tell Gage to come down to Rockford so we can get this done for you guys."
       I was hoping to wait it out and see if anything surfaced, but alas, nothing has. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears ready. It shouldn't be too much longer.


      Tell your friends!
