"Your number is one," yelled Mr Rollins, and indeed it is. The first issue of New Noise, your new fortnightly music and matter source. We have no ringtones or merchandise to sell. We have no lapel-badge music to wear as a fashion accessory. Open minds welcome, elitism to be left at the door. And like that...it was on."

My old Bleedmusic comrades Laila Hassani and Matt Hill launch their site. New Noise, featuring the usual ex-Bleed suspects, differs from their previous iteration due to the Magazine-style format, with updates every two weeks.

(I've promised to do something for them for a future issue.)
