Well for over seven years, at all our events, we've had reviewers come and watch the bands perform and then write their honest reviews. Some reviews are better
than others, some longer than others but all honest.
七 年以來，我們邀請不同的樂評人為在Underground演出的每一隊樂隊撰寫樂評。每位樂評人的觀點都不盡相同，但可以肯定的一點是，他們都盡心為大家帶來最準確、最不偏不倚的評論。
Our website has over 325 bands reviewed (and a sprinkling of overseas bands too!) to share with you. Many of the bands performing this month are listed in our reviews: 的網站已經有過三百隊本地樂隊的樂評 (還有曾在Underground演出的外地樂隊！），包括將於本月演出的幾隊樂隊：

Bands chosen for The Underground Compilation CD5!The Underground合輯 CD5 入選樂隊己定!
We are delighted to announce that we have selected 12 Hong Kong bands for the next compilation release from The Underground!
It was a long & arduous process as 30 bands applied this year but we only have slots for 12.
After a series of very difficult decisions, we have finally settled on the final dozen who will appear on our next compilation album.
Each band chosen to represent the Hong Kong indie music scene will have the chance to record 2 songs at Mark 1 Music Centre!
Compilation CD 5 will be released in two launch parties circa April 2012. Details for these events will be released closer to the event.
BANDS CHOSEN: 入選樂隊:
All for a Vison
Airtub
Audiotraffic
Dr Eggs
eli
Gun You
Intellectual Morons
Joves
Operator
ReOrientate
The Bollands
Who Shot Holga
The Underground的下一張合輯的十二支參與樂隊已定! 我們很高興這次共有三十支樂隊報名參與合輯。由於名額有限, 經過一輪篩選後, 我們好不容易才在云云出色樂隊中選出十二支樂隊。
每支中選樂隊皆會在Mark 1 Music Centre灌錄兩首作品, 收錄於合輯中, 為香港當代的獨立音樂留下足跡。
The Underground合輯CD5的兩場發佈派對將於明年四月舉行, 請繼續留意我們的最新消息。

Out of the ground and into your phone! The Underground HK now has an iPhone app!
衝出地下！The Underground HK推出iPhone app！ |  | |
Hong Kong, August 1, 2011 -
The Underground, Hong Kong's premier indie music showcase, took on nine of the best local innovators, entrepreneurs and programmers to win the city's first-ever Battle of the Apps contest, organized by Hong Kong's premier internet networking community, Web Wednesday.
The Underground's app - presented by founder Chris B (AKA, the godmother of Hong Kong's indie music scene) - won over the voting audience with its user-friendly graphics and entertaining content.
The iPhone-friendly program plays new music; publicizes bands and upcoming shows; presents news from The Underground; and more. The software was created by Mangrove Giant, the Hong Kong-based applications developer whose game Kill Kill Monster Campaign entered the Top 100 in 66 countries last year and sold over 100,000 copies.
The Battle of the Apps contest, which featured video and live presentations, took place at Volar on July 20th in front of more than 170 guests and members of the Internet and digital media community. Apps on display included a city food locator, a guide to buying local property, a Chinese learning tool, a location-based gaming platform, a rugby match analyzer, a photo sharing network and a smart phone function that automatically shuts down WiFi to save battery power.
