Mike interviews each artist\/band and plays several of their songs, so there is a great mix of music and words to chew on.<\/p>\n<p>We are also kicking around several ideas here at DTL. The new website is being rolled out in pieces \u2013 those of you that have visited recently might have noticed some changes. Many social features are being added, but it is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>One idea we are kicking around is how to promote the music we feature here. We don\u2019t want to go the route of a traditional record label because, well\u2026. none of us are that rich. But we are open to any creative ideas that you have. Contact us and let us know!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Action Spotlight:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Don&#8217;t just complain about the world &#8211; do something to change it<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Spilling Hope is \u201cabout changing the way we live so we can support a better world for everyone.

Some of these bands may still be making music today, and others may have moved on. We cover these bands (active or dormant) as well as any new projects by former members of these bands and any new bands that may have the same spirit as these bands.<\/p>\n<p>ALL IMAGE AND STORIES ARE THE COPY RIGHT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE CREATOR.
