From high atop the Television 8 buidling, in the best location in the nation, on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie, it’s… Now This Sound Is Brave. And we’re not actually atop the Television 8 building.

NTSIB is a blog of music evangelism, spreading the good word from the North Coast. While not Ohio-centric, we do love our Ohio talent pool, from Bootsy Collins to Roger Troutman to Guided by Voices, the Afghan Whigs, the Black Keys on up to HotChaCha, mr. Gnome and Shivering Timbers. But it doesn’t have to be Ohio-born or bred to get us to praise it.

April is at the pulpit in Cleveland, with regular sermons from Jennifer in New York and an occassional hallelujah from Nate Burrell and others. And we all feel blessed that you’ve come to fellowship with us.

Rock the fuck on.
