Running DIY Conspiracy is not our job. We have our limited time and resources. What we do here is to write whenever we can about exciting music and authentic ideas, filled with passion and desire for doing something genuine outside of the mainstream.

Sending us bandcamp links and digital releases is fine, but please bear in mind that we are constantly overwhelmed with that stuff and may never be able to review it.

Physical copies will always have a priority over digital. If you send us a tape, vinyl, CD, or a paper zine, we will make sure that it will be reviewed sooner or later. Be prepared that you’ll get a honest review (not always a flattering/positive one).

For how reviews should not look like go here. Screw the reviewers who write like that!

We in hardcore should never settle for mere mediocrity: there’s more than enough of that in the mainstream world.
