readKevchino.com is a collective of volunteer indie music reviewers. The site was founded by Kevin Serra in 2001 as a forum for spreading the word about independent artists from around the globe as well as promoting creative writing. The site originated in Santa Barbara, California (90 minutes north of Los Angeles) but now proudly calls New York City, home, though our writers are from all over.
Our reviews are completely unbiased and express only the views and opinions of the writer who authors them, and are not necessarily the views and opinion of our staff or the site. Our writers also contribute to professional publications, periodicals, newspapers, websites and literary magazines. All writers simply share a passion for exploring indie music.
Reviews & music news are posted daily, Monday - Friday. New music links will be added periodically throughout the month and we regularly host contests. Prizes include, CDs, DVDs, EPs, singles, vinyl, posters, pins and other band related paraphernalia. We hope you enjoy this site as much as we enjoy creating it for you.
Who I'd like to meet: David Bowie! I've already sat next to Johnny Depp at a sushi place but I couldn't say anything to him just stared at his tattoos and his Chicken Teriyaki. Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter too!
