"So what have we got for you lovely people? Let's take a look shall we: we've got news, links, guitar tab, lyrics and forums - but that's just the beginning.

This is first and foremost a community site. You guys are going to have the biggest say in what happens to this site, you're going to shape it, mould it - basically, this is your site. It is what you make it. Have a quick look around and you'll find lots of features that will contribute to a strong community feel, such as the shoutbox, the commenting system, the notes system, featured discussions, and of course, the Fanhost forums.

Before we get started, let me tell you about the staff positions up for grabs at the moment. The main positions open currently are for writers - if you're passionate about music and want to write articles and features about it for this site, drop me a line. Also, if you love searching for and reviewing new, exciting, up-and-coming independent bands, drop me a line also.

Finally, before I stop rambling and let you explore the site, I want to say a huge thankyou to all the beta-testers and everyone else who helped get this site on its feet - I owe you one!

Enjoy the site.
