The Bands Respond to My Music Articles
I've been writing articles on bands and their songs for 88.9 Hey Radio. After I'd done 6 articles I realized that I should send the articles to the bands and see if I get any responses. Four of the bands responded. Here's what they said.
Also, two of the bands shared the articles on their Facebook pages. Here's what they posted.
That's all pretty good feedback. Also, I keep hearing about more and more people that liked the super in-depth article that I did on Amongst the Giants. I wanted to see how far I could go with it, and apparently other people like seeing that too. Our world tends to be shallow for a number of reasons. There is a desire for depth too. That makes me feel better about the world.

Hey there jeff, I really appreciate you sharing the article with us. I get personal satisfaction in hearing how our songs are viewed from various perspectives, especially with a critical and keen eye like yours. What was most interesting to me was your take on how the song more matches the communicative properties of a comic book rather than a movie. It's something I wouldn't have considered if I hadn't read your article. I will say I haven't ever read an aquaman comic book, and I havn't seen the aquaman movie yet either. And although the song title and lyrics contain his name, the song isn't really about Aquaman at all...it's a metaphor for someone else with powers. But I'll leave it at that 😉
I was wondering how you heard of us, we're quite a small band, and I'm not familiar with 88.9 hey radio, are they a local radio station?
happy new year
