ReverbNation Release Dates (May 20 and Beyond)
It must be really hard (I mean really, really hard) to be a new artist in 2016 … it’s easy to get lost in the cacophony of social media, streaming services and other distractions.
Pauseandplay.com is doing its part to give recognition to new acts by compiling a weekly list of new and just-released albums and EPs from ReverbNation-affiliated artists.
On with the countdown …
