MusicOMH (stylized asmusicOMH) is a London-basedonline music magazine which publishes independent reviews, features and interviews from across all genres includingclassical,metal,rock andR&B.
MusicOMH was founded and launched by Editor in Chief Michael Hubbard in 1999.[1]
In February 2011, the site's former theatre section was spun off, becomingExeunt Magazine, asMusicOMH refocused from being a general arts publication to writing primarily about music.
MusicOMH's music content consists of reviews of albums, gigs, tracks and festivals, alongside features, interviews andblog posts. The site also provides live reviews and other features.[2] The site's album reviews, usually covering a wide range of genres including pop, electro,classical,metal,rock andR&B,[1] have been quoted by numerous publications such asThe Daily Telegraph,The Independent and theBBC.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The site has also been used as one of many sources to accumulate aggregated review scores forMetacritic.[9][10][11]
Over the course of 25 years, the site has also conducted interviews with artists, ranging fromhouse music duoBasement Jaxx, via Swedish bandMiike Snow to rapperJay-Z.[12][13][14] In September 2009, publications such asContactmusic.com,AOL andYahoo! Music used the interview with Jay-Z to spread word of his will to work with other notable musicians such asJack White andBono.[14][15][16][17]
The Independent describedMusicOMH as "Brit-centric, accessible and unpretentious", in their list of the 25 best music websites in October 2009.[2] The site was nominated for Best Digital Publication at the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Record of the Day Awards.[18]
