About

Music Industry Newswire™ (or “MIN” as we call it around here) is a unique online portal combing a wide variety of original content related to the music business and recording industry, both from the creation and business side and the retail and consumer side.

This online magazine covers:

• News about companies, products, services in the music and recording industry
• Original exclusive interviews with musicians, engineers, bands, and people both behind the stage and in front of the audience
• Hands-on product reviews of new gear, from the latest music players, to keyboards, mixers, and studio recording gear
• Reviews of music downloads, CDs and next-generation Blu-Ray and HD music/video material

…and through strategic partnerships with other music associations, trade groups and music web portals, we will feature a wide variety of material from unsigned bands, new talent, and breaking superstars (sorry, pardon the hyperbole).

Coming soon: event calendar, music forums, and much more!

View our staff page for information about our editorial team. We’re all professional musicians, working journalists, gear heads, and/or creative gurus across multiple disciplines. This is no personal blog or impersonal mega-portal, but — we hope — will become a daily destination for anybody who loves making or listening to music in all forms.

We are located in Torrance, California, USA (Los Angeles county). Music Industry Newswire is part of the Neotrope® Entertainment Network and is a trademark and service mark of Neotrope. Our company was established in 1983 by Christopher Laird Simmons and was formerly known as Mindset.
