IndieUprising Calling it Quits

Hey everyone,

As you know, I’ve been taking a break from IndieUprising.  After much thought I’ve decided not to go on with the show or the website.  This was a tough decision because I have discovered so many incredible bands the past 2 years, and it’s been a lot of fun helping others discover these great bands.

I’ve been running IndieUprising pretty much all by myself.  From the web design, posting stories, screening hundreds of CDs a month, writing reviews (with some help, thanks Allie, Derik, Sarah and Jen!), recording and posting the show, contacting bands, managers, record labels and so much more . . . it’s been a lot of work.  So, with this dreadful economy, my job keeping me extremely busy and family life keeping me even busier, it’s time to make some priority decisions.

I’ll miss doing IndieUprising as it’s been a huge part of my identity these past 2 years.  There are so many great bands starting up and breaking up every day.  I’ll continue to follow and discover all these great bands and hopefully I’ll be able to organize and bring back an even better IndieUprising within the next 2 years.

I’ll keep the website up, so all the shows will still be available.  I just won’t be contributing anything new.  Thanks for listening to the show and supporting Indepenent music! Hopefully I’ll bump into you at a show sometime.

All the best,

Sean Duregger
