Handy Guide to Hong Kong bands!

New to Hong Kong?
Or just new to the live music scene?
How can you sift the good bands from the bad bands?
初來報到？
還沒有摸熟本地樂隊的圈子？
那你大概需要看看我們的 "樂隊指南"了。
For well over eight 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.
八年以來，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 350 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: 我們的網站已經有過三百五十隊本地樂隊的樂評 (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： |
