what the FAQ is wears the trousers?... an online magazine that doffs a jaunty-angled cap to its US cousins and takes a resolutely anglocentric peek at the world of women in music. it's a completely free, not-for-profit, blood, sweat and tears included roundup of all that is new, essential and downright exciting about the contribution of women worldwide to the music industry...
so you're firebreathing man-haters?... er, no. some of us like men a whole lot actually. we're just sick of the majority of the music press who seem to fail to realise that rock/"credible" music is not naturally a male thing, but it is actively produced as such in line with some ancient misconception that proliferates the belief that what's a correct or incorrect behaviour for a woman is different to that of a man. if that's a little feministic for you, our equal opportunities schtick is that we believe that female artists, and british female artists in particular, go under-represented in the media. this is our way of celebrating their music...
so what's on offer here?... this is the only place on the net with a dedicated and up-to-date news service specifically for women in music. we also feature excellent in-depth reviews of as many releases as possible, together with interviews, retrospective career pieces and occasional special reports. you'll also find introductions to all the hottest new artists you really don't want to miss - it's our mission (and we've chosen to accept it) to keep you informed so we can support these artists and give them the exposure they deserve...
anything else?... yeah, we'll point you in the right direction to find all the best legal MP3s you can get your audiophilic hands on. golly, we might even host our own exclusives one day. but what really makes us the kindest, most generous webzine in the world is that we want to encourage you to get the blazes away from your VDUs every once in a while. yes, to save you being glued to the screen, we are also rather handily available to download in PDF format four times a year. hence, you can rest your poor 21st century eyes and enjoy us in all environs...
fab! but how can i get involved?... if you're a budding music writer or just an all-round music nut who knows their way around a pocket thesaurus, we'd love to hear from you. we pride ourselves on the quality of our reporting so please don't be offended if we have to put our editing hats on... if you're an artist, an artist's agent or just some weirdo who likes sending people CDs, we are very happy to receive discs for review (be they albums, singles, EPs or even demos). we try to ensure everything we receive gets a mention!
