Shoutmouth.com - Music News Community

Why isn't there one website where you can scroll through stories on all your favorite artists, just like you scroll through songs on your iPod? That's why Shoutmouth was created. Shoutmouth is your source for the latest and greatest music news. Shoutmouth stories are submitted by users as well as by staff members. It currently reports on more than 1,000 popular bands and music artists, and publishes more than 500 new posts every week. News stories are handpicked from leading music news websites and blogs and organized on Shoutmouth. Each Shoutmouth post includes a summary of the news event, plus their own viewpoint, with a link to the original news source for verification. Willing to start reading? You can go straight to the latest news or start browsing by music genre – such as rock, pop, rap, country, electronic, etc. You can also browse the artists diretory to find a particular artist. But Shoutmouth is also a music lovers community that allows members to create personal profiles, interact with other members, post comments on news stories, submit news stories, recommend new music artists to add to the community, and the alternative to receive customized news and email alerts on their favorite artists.

“Shoutmouth was born out of a passion for music, a curiosity for news, and a simple desire to deliver the most music news on the Web, all in one place. While we do have a full-time editorial team, we can only continue to be the most comprehensive music news community with your help. So suggest an artist, submit a story, comment on a story, and help us grow. The more music news we have, the more music news you get.”

Shoutmouth is definitely an interesting concept. Most websites cover only the top ten music stories each day, those stories with mass appeal. But that type of generic coverage does not satisfy the needs of serious music fans. Instead of going to hundreds of websites and blogs to get all the news you want, you can now go to Shoutmouth and get it all in one place.

Will they add some extra features like the possibility to share music and download music from the site? Will it generate enough traffic to keep it going?
