New artrocker.com
OK, so we've been talking about it for months. We've been working on it for months. Finally it's here - the new look www.artrocker.com.
We hope you like it.
We like it, but then we're biased.
The new site is all about recommending good, new contemporary art rock. As much as possible, we're hoping to give you the opportunity to listen to what we're banging on about, with more mp3 content than before.
We're keen on hearing about new music that's getting you all in a lather too - you can tell us about it on this forum, or recommend tunes for us to check out from the home page
So, what do you think?

Naw that was an exclusive
Naw that was an exclusive shoot done a couple of weeks ago. It does look old though.
Aww..
your latest incarnation is very pretty, well done folks!
It's been a while. But it's
It's been a while. But it's been worth this beautiful blossoming on the screen in front of me. It's very nice. Nice to see regular updates, and already an argument about Kings Of Leon. That's what it's all about.
Now, let's see if we can't get this forum rolling a bit....
It looks great
... but the 'out of the box' drupal .ico file should get replaced, and I haven't worked out why the left hand side menus are on some pages and not others.
Cheers for the feedback
Cheers for the feedback headbones, favicon is now fixed. It's what you might call a work in progress ;) We've also just added commenting on all stories. The links on the left are for related stories and are randomly selected in the case of mp3s, so they will change from page to page.
This is exciting! It looks
This is exciting! It looks the same yet different every time I come to the site! Many Artrocker logos! Many many! This is so classy!
I agree! God damn it looks
I agree! God damn it looks seriously expensive!
It cost a fortune
Django doesn't get out of bed for less than a packet of custard creams and a cup of tea.
And I had to bribe Kaoru with old valve amplifiers.
Woah! This is bloody sexy!
