Given we all live in a decidedly niche music sphere, I thought it might be helpful if we share our tips/tricks for finding new artists. Here’s my tried and true: everynoise.com

I find last.fm is second-to-none for finding personal recommendations. Beyond that, I like to keep up to date with all the top prog albums on RateYourMusic, SputnikMusic, Metalstorm, and Progarchives - I won’t love everything but it’s a good way to find newly released gems.
Do you scrobble your listenings? I used to be all about that but it feels much harder in the age of music streaming.
I just have it synced up to spotify. I love crunching numbers so I don’t mind deleting the odd extra scrobble or reconnecting spotify when it disconnects (happens annoyingly often) so I can have as accurate stats as possible. It’s also really great for nostalgia. I’ve had it for six years now and it’s great to go back and see what the top albums were I was vibing to several summers ago and stuff like that.
It really is great for nostalgia. I should get back on the wagon; I’m so glad to have my college listening records.
I still do it. I actually just switched to iPhone recently and found out it was hard to scrobble from. I switched-out LMS with Navidrome so I could scrobble from the server instead of the phone. XD
