Retrospective: The Baltimore/Washington Metro
Let's keep this simple. To me, this site has always been about supporting the local music scene. So I decided, that there is no better way to celebrate our first anniversary, than to make a mix of local music from the past year. I had so much fun, that I ended up making two discs.
Some of these bands have come a long way in the last 12 months, some didn't even exist when we started and others are no more. That said, every song is from a band that claims (or claimed) the Baltimore/Washington metro area as home. Yeah, there are plenty of others that could have made it, but I hope that you enjoy what I came up with. If you read the site regularly, you should know most of these bands, but hopefully you will discover a new favorite. After all, that is what IA is all about. Thank you, it has been a great year.
