We are looking for people that are comfortable being honest when listening to a CD and willing to say when they love something and also willing to say when they think something is shit. Individuals that are not influenced by others opinions and have their own musical preference and stance. We are looking for people that could walk up and interview their favourite band in the world without either a)shitting their pants or b)becoming a complete bumbling wreck.

This opportunity is available to any talented people that want to apply from all over the world. Please note though that these are intern positions so there is no pay but you do get brand new music and you do get to go to free gigs and interview loads of bands. All a music lover should ever need! Even if you don't think you could write CD or live reviews you might suprise yourself! If you know music well and have an opinion you have everything needed for this job. Musical followers need not apply.

If you are interested then please CLICK HERE now to apply. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
