**Due to backend issues, we cannot store all of the items |
|
in one place. We had to recreate this page since the |
|
amount of data became too much for Archive's servers to |
|
handle. Please visit https://archive.org/details/myspace- |
|
Music[1] to see ALL of our content we are slowly |
|
archiving. This page serves only as a mission statement |
|
with a sample of music we are archiving.** |
|
|
|
In 2018, MySpace lost over a decade's worth of music |
|
uploaded by unsigned bands and solo artists. This loss |
|
was blamed on corrupted data during a server transfer |
|
gone awry, and it is theorized this may have been |
|
intentional so as to free up server space and cut costs |
|
to keep the website afloat. This was an absolutely tragic |
|
loss for the history of music and art. |
|
|
|
What this project aims to do is create an archive for any |
|
and every shred of Metal and Alternative style music from |
|
between 2001 and 2012 that can be recovered. This time |
|
frame was considered to be the "wild west" for metal and |
|
alternative bands, with many gaining national fandom just |
|
by uploading a single 3 or 4 song demo to the website. We |
|
are searching every nook and cranny of the internet to |
|
find these pieces of musical art that would otherwise be |
|
forever lost to time and the black hole the Internet has |
|
become. No song too short, and no artist too obscure. |
|
|
|
Things we are not archiving: Anything that belongs to a |
|
still active Record Label, or that are still actively for |
|
sale in their original un-altered format (via Bandcamp, |
|
iTunes, Amazon Music, or any other digital platform). We |
|
do not wish to create any issues where copyright may be |
|
at play. |
