(For immediate release) After a nip here and a tuck there, Indie-Music.com is ready for a close-up and kicks off summer 2005 with a facelift! In an effort to provide even more exposure to all Indie-Music.com members and independent artists, the Indie-Music.com home page (http://www.indie-music.com) now prominently features a rotating multimedia artist profile for all annual members who have uploaded their music for public consumption. You told us what you wanted to see – and hear – and we listened! Indie-Music.com members are producing some of the most vibrant and exciting music in the independent music industry, and we proudly showcase these artists front and center where they belong. Although the home page appearance may have changed, Indie-Music.com still offers the latest news, CD reviews, articles and contact directory updates you know, use and love.

Suzanne Glass, founder and owner of Indie-Music.com, weighs in, “Connecting with our audience is Indie-Music.com’s number one goal, and our new navigation layout makes it easier to access popular areas of the website, thereby allowing fans to quickly access new music, and giving artists faster, more-intuitive access to our DIY and promotional resources.”

Over the years, Indie-Music.com has strived to provide one of the largest DIY databases available to musicians, fans and industry veterans, recognizing the need to house as much information, advice, and exposure in one place as possible. Musicians, labels, studios and venues have long recognized our commitment to our audience. We invite all indie music lovers to visit the site, check out new music and build a buzz with their own material.
