Talentspotter

Welcome to Talentspotter! The idea of Talentspotter is to profile some of the best bands, labels and fanzines around and hopefully introduce you to some new talent and show that there are still plenty people around happy to spend large amounts of their time and money playing, releasing and writing about the music that is important to them.
