For me it's about more easily identifying bands who will play the music I like.
I think if the AOR and Hard Rock were split into their own boards it would help.
I'd open up the Hard Rock most often, followed by the Sleaze Glam occasionally and maybe the Heavy Metal every so often. Personally I think Hard Rock and AOR are leagues apart, but that's just me.
For instance, I've been really liking Handful Of Rain which I found here.
To me it's hard rock, much like Roxus, and edging a little closer to AOR, but still hard rock.
When I open the board and there are 10 new bands posted, I rarely check out more than a couple, because life. And things to do.
I have a word doc list of a bunch of bands to check out more based on what I've heard here, and never would have otherwise
Cruzh, Hair Force One, Sleazy Roxx, Addiction, Terramaze, Aderenaline Mob, Lipz
And that's why I am here
