Welcome to Silent Uproar 3.0

Reported by simple

As you can see, Silent Uproar has re-launched with a brand new design today. Yesterday, July 5th, we celebrated 7 years of being online. As a present to you, the visitor, we decided to go ahead and launch this new version of the site. Unlike past launches, this site is still very much in development and, as a result, you will see new features being added regularly over the coming weeks and months. This simple, straight-forward design marks a new direction for us and we hope you will find that it helps to make Silent Uproar a place you continue to return to for all your music needs in a quick, easy to digest form. One of the important new focuses of the site will be user interaction. We want to make the site something you enjoy and find useful, so we need your help in identifying any bugs you come across, features you want added, or just general music news or tips you want to share. Just sign up for an account and add your comments to this post, for now. We have a bunch of ideas in the works, but definitely welcome your feedback and opinion.
