Five years ago today, FensePost went live. In that time we have covered a few thousand bands, made some great friends, and heard some outstanding music. The site has come a long way, and I hope we can continue bringing coverage of unknown and little known artists for many years to come.

OK, I know in a themed blog like this, only the narcissist would post something off topic, but I can’t help it; it’s a lazy week and I don’t feel like working too hard so I’m taking the day off. Why? Here it is: today is my birthday. I turn 29. One more year until 30 and I still don’t have to shave on a daily basis.
