Help us build a better Pitchfork!

Join us on our new journey building true indie music publication.

Dear friends,

We are blown away by your support over the past few weeks. BIG THANK YOU!

We kinda joked about becoming the next and better Pitchfork while back, but it is becoming true. We had tens of applications for new writers to join our team, and many did, which is amazing. This was the first step to strengthen our team of writers.

Now we need your support. We do not have secret funding or donors; we rely on your support. We used to fund the blog with our label’s sales, but the label is slowly dying, and we are short on funds to grow our team and deliver even better writing. Visit our donation page and consider throwing a few euros there. Every single euro counts.

We do have some ads on the website, but they are barely making us any revenue. We need a support from readers. We always believed in our content being free, so every donation supports our idea of free access to music publications.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

We have the last two days to submit our following compilation. Learn more:

We still have very few T-shirts left, so you can wear our color and also support us in 2026:

We published the second post from our new series: How to Run a Cassette Label, which got a lot of love as well. The series is shaping up well, and we will put the next piece very soon.

We set a goal to sell 200 cassettes before making a new release, and we are at 77 sold copies, which is amazing, yet not where we wanted to be today. Keep ordering tapes to keep our dream alive.

Thank you for all the fantastic support over the past weeks. You keep my hopes still alive. I hope all the love you share with us will be repaid.

Have a great month!

With lots of love,

Filip, the head of START-TRACK.com
