Hello,
Welcome again to Hard Wired & our apologies for the recent lack of updates. This is due to the template system not working properly (bleedin' technology, eh?) which meant Dave the webmaster wasn't getting the reviews I was sending him; fingers crossed, all will be well now!
If you're a regular reader of our goth reviews you may well have noticed that Stuart Moses & Anya Hastwell are no longer writing for us. This is due to the both of them having other obligations which meant they were unable to contribute to the site which is a great pity as their contributions were much valued, both by myself & a good many readers. I'd like to thank them both for their work on the site & it goes without saying that they're both welcome back at Hard Wired Towers anytime! In the meantime I'll be carrying on the goth reviews as well as the usual electro ones (with some help from Andreas from Germany) & hope you find much to enjoy here.
So enjoy the reviews &, as ever, stay Hard Wired
Carl Jenkinson
