About

As you can probably work out, There Goes The Fear is mostly a UK live music blog, covering live reviews, album reviews, the hottest new artists and the latest tours in the UK. We’re rather passionate about a few bands, and you’ll get to hear about them over time.

The name of “There Goes The Fear” comes from the awesome Manchester trio Doves song of the same name. In 2009, we added a USA editor Mary Chang based in Washington DC and were nominated in the Best Blog category in Record of the Day’s 2009 Music Journalism and PR Awards. I myself was recognised as one of Britain’s tastemakers and offered my opinions in late 2009 for the BBC Sound of 2010 poll.

Hosting comes from those lovely people at United Hosting. I’ve been using them for 5 years now and they never cease to amaze me. Great support, and very little downtime. Just amazing.

Reviews and Submissions

We’re more than happy to have a listen to the music you send us, suggest to us etc, however PLEASE read our site so that you don’t send your new French didgeridoo recording, only for us to either a) not write about it or b) tear it to shreds. Sometimes the new stuff provides the best suprises, and might well change our outlook.
