Over the past few months (and especially in the last month) we’ve injected a slew of great writers into the Prefix roster. We’re always excited to expand the stable and work with new people, but it’s been years since we’ve had such a significant influx of new voices on the site. Each of these writers has impeccable taste, a fresh voice, and a great love of and passion for music. For years we’ve regarded our writers as some of the best in the business, and these new contributors will only bolster that claim. Just another great leap toward making Prefix the best written, most comprehensive music site on the web.

Watching it will be like watching The Ring.

Big ups to Chi-Town as well.
