Chances are, if you’re listening to metal, there’s a good chance Putney might have produced it. The band’s sophomore album Hellbound, […]

It’s September, which means that along with the return of football, back to school, and pumpkin-flavored everything, the CMJ Music Marathon is just around the corner. This week, it will be taking place from October 15-19th. And while the annual music convention is essentially aimed at college radio and the music industry surrounding it, there […]
