About Us

About Sound Off!

Written, designed, and run by a growing and diverse group of veteran
musician/journalists, Sound-Off! is the ultimate information source on
musicians who work for political, social, and economic change.

Each day Sound-Off! uncovers the most noteworthy music-news events,
examines the historic contributions of the geniuses of message music,
and explores the groundbreaking work of today’s most creative and
influential performers, from across the stylistic, geographic, and
cultural spectrum.

Sound Off! is for anyone who’s ravenous for new music, passionate
about social and political issues—and unafraid to mix the two
obsessions.

Our Mission

A pop song alone isn’t likely to end a war. But music that inspires and enlightens can and does change people’s attitudes and actions. Our mission at Sound Off! is to draw your attention to artists who work and sing for change—fairly, accurately, and with style.

Contribute!

We heartily encourage contributions to Sound Off! in the form of music-news reports, photography, personal journal-type entries, and reviews. Before you send us any words or images, though, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the type and tone of the material we present. Beyond anything else, Sound Off! is a site that focuses on topical music, not a platform for unhinged political rants. Our vibe is one of enthusiastic education and illumination.
