Unbeknownst to those outside of the industry, day-to-day life as a musician usually encompasses long periods of inactivity, immediately followed by periods of intense activity. This can mean you are sat down staring at your phone screen one minute, and rocking out in front of 10,000 strangers the next. In this blog, we check out a great list of music blogs to look at in your spare time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s waiting backstage or traveling in the back of the van, if you\u2019re looking to stay productive, downtime is a great opportunity to check out some good music blogs for news, reviews, advice and expertise. If you prefer audio content, you might also enjoy our guide to the top fifteen podcasts for musicians<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a specific subject in mind that you\u2019d like to read up on, it is important to remember that each blog on this list will have a different set of resources available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means it\u2019s important to find the right site to provide answers for whatever you\u2019re looking up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the blogs in the list below represent sites that specialise in news, technology, performance, recording and a whole bunch of other subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Unsigned Guide is a go-to for many musicians for advice on a whole host of subjects. TUG is, perhaps, most famous for its directory that offers you access to over 8,500 music industry contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they also run an excellent blog offering advice for emerging artists and musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
