So, i'm reading this book called "Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore" and this was on page 146...
"Although record sales were rapidly rising, death metal and grindcore coverage in the mainstream press was still sparse. However, the communities had an invaluable friend in the inthe influential cmj music monthly magazine, whose extreme music coverage was spearheaded by Atlanta native and New York City transplant Kevin Sharp.
'Being in a situation I came from- a really hip radio station called WREK in Atlanta-they were willing to let me do what I wanted to do,' says Sharp of his CMJ editors. "I did a lot of really cool, weird shit, that when I look back on it now, I'm like 'how did I manage to sell that after pitching it?' Like, we got an Extreme Noise Terror track right next to a Mr. Big track on a radio sampler CD. I don't know if that could be down now."
Some of you might remember that Kevin Sharp was the vocalist for Brutal Truth. Pretty cool!
WREK mentioned in "choosing death" book
