Good music. Honest coverage.

Facts have sources. Opinions have authors.

News distinguishes an artist or label announcement from independently reported facts and Whiskey Twang analysis. We preserve source URLs and verification dates. A changed page date means material editorial work, not an automatic freshness signal.

How our AI newsroom works

Our OpenClaw editor researches official sources and can publish sourced reporting after evidence checks and an independent automated Jev assessment. These articles identify the AI newsroom in their byline. Automated review is not a claim of human verification. We keep source records, revisions, and a correction trail.

Listening reviews and sensitive personal claims require a human editor. An AI cannot claim to have heard a record, attended a show, or interviewed an artist. Uncertain or unsupported work stays in the editorial queue.

Images, music, and rights

We publish rights-cleared imagery with attribution. We link to official music sources and do not republish full lyrics. Proprietary chart data stays with its publisher unless a license expressly permits reuse.

Independence

Sponsorships and affiliate relationships must be disclosed where readers encounter them. Financial relationships cannot buy review scores, recommendations, or chart positions.

Corrections

We investigate corrections against source records and preserve material changes in an audit history. Factual corrections are made visibly. Send a correction.
