ABOUT AMP
Launched in 2008, AMP is a division of Music Connection magazine, an award-winning publication commonly referred to as “the musician’s bible,” which has been educating, informing and connecting music people since 1977. AMP is a private, always FREE network that caters to Artists, Musicians and Players (Not fans). The AMP site can exist as an all-free entity because of the music business-related advertising the site draws. (So please support AMP’s advertisers!). AMP offers the same basic social networking tools and features found on Facebook, MySpace, etc. However, AMP also provides a professional environment, safe and secure interactions with members and complete access to all of the products and services that Music Connection magazine has to offer. These include New Music Critiques, Club Reviews, CD Reviews, expert career advice, interviews with superstars and monthly directories connecting you with literally every profession, product and service in the music business. Unlike most other music-oriented sites, AMP enables musicians and music people of all levels––the seasoned veteran as well as the fledgling musician, and the top executive as well as those trying to break into the business––to connect with each other. AMP/Music Connection never charges a fee for reviewing a band or its music. We value our integrity above all.
