About me: I am Simon T Diplock. This is music journalism with heart and soul.
Moderate Rock has been up and writing for three years now. There will eventually be a website but for now there's plenty of sharp words in the blog above.
There's more arriving every week too. Click 'older' on the left hand side of the blog page to go back and look at everything, even if some of the oldest stuff is proper rubbish.
Who I'd like to meet: Bands (message me here or mail moderaterock@hotmail.co.uk to get a review), fans, an HTML whizz and the men in the suits with the money.
Credit crunch ain't it. It's a depression. So, below are 8 outfits who have fought the credit crunch at one time or another by reducing their workforce to just one or two.

Simon, We very much appreciate the positive review - and the fact that you have added Jeremiad to your page. We just finished making our physical press kits, so unfortunately it is too late for this to be included - but rest assured this will be in the digital press kits. We're writing for our debut full length now, and with some luck and label support, we'll be releasing it next year. Thanks again, and please stay in touch.
