Unsigned & Unleashed Is Dead...Almost

Unsigned & Unleashed will officially be done in May 2016. This blog has been a constant in my life for over 6 years seeing its fair share of new bands, old bands, song premieres, and writers. But it's time to put it to rest. I recently began a new chapter of my life, graduating from college, landing my first job, being a band manager, and trying to be an adult. Unsigned & Unleashed has been on the back burner for a while now. In between a barrage of emails and trying to make good on other aspects of my life it has become secondary and has been for quite some time. So, with that being said, Unsigned & Unleashed will be resigning from the bloggersphere in May of 2016. This gives the U&U a good stretch of time to put out some unique and fun features and give back to all those who have supported the blog throughout it's time. Throughout the next few months you'll get to know the people who make this blog possible a bit more. We'll have new features every month and introduce some phenomenal young bands in the process. 

Thank you from all of us!

Unsigned & Unleashed Is Hiring! Seeking Writers, Photographers, and Social Media Nerds

Unsigned & Unleashed has been up and running for over 4 years and combines a focus on both new and popular bands in the scene. We're looking to add some new members to our staff. Working on the blog is a great opportunity for anyone with interest in either music journalism or the music industry.

We are looking for three different kinds of people:

1. Social Media Aficionado - We need someone who is tech-savvy, creative, and good with marketing. Some tasks include coming up with new contests ideas (ex. a signed vinyl giveaway for Tigers Jaw), making sure the awesome content we have on the blog is being seen by all our followers, and engaging our audience.

2. Camera King/Queen- If you are good at photography and love photographing musicians and shows then this is for you. We love having live photography on the site. We ESPECIALLY love when you also don't mind getting in front of the camera to talk one on one with bands. If this sounds like you, this is the way to go! Tasks include shooting concerts, filming acoustic sessions, and doing interviews.

3. Writer Extraordinaire - This is the most important of the three and has the most freedom. Some tasks include posting news on the site, writing album reviews, doing interviews, and/or coming up with your own segment!

Requirements:

- a passion for music or music journalism and a basic knowledge of what's happening in the scene. 

-some free time and stable access to a laptop/internet

*previous experience helps but is not necessary 

If you are interested in applying, please email Briana Boyd at [email protected]. The subject line of the email should be "Staff 2014". In the email, be sure to tell us which role(s) you are interested in, some info on yourself, and why you'd be a good fit for the blog.
