About

With so many sources of music in today’s world, but very few of them providing easy access or any impetus to discover new musical acts, it’s all too easy to get into a rut of listening to the same music all the time.  That’s where the New Music Michael blog comes in.  We are constantly searching for new bands, exploring every nook and cranny from morning to night, and never pass up an opportunity to learn about a new band that we and our readers might enjoy in the indie, alternative, punk, surf, folk, and related genres.

We supplement this with other features, including full album reviews, tour dates, and new album releases. New Music Michael doesn’t base its selections on geography, but as we are based in Edmonton, Canada, we do try to make sure people find out about western Canadian artists who might not otherwise get the attention they should. edmonton music blog calgary music blog

STAFF: New Music Michael

Michael Senchuk (aka “New Music Michael”) has followed the alternative scene since the very first days, with the birth of Nirvanna, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and many others of the frontrunners.  He has seen many of the most famous acts live in concert, and continues his love and fanaticism of the genre.  Friends and family consult Michael on a regular basis for bands to check out, and he seemingly has a knack for finding that ‘next’ band that will blow you away with their talent.  Email: mike@qazam.com Twitter: newmusicmichael
