ABOUT US
Athousandguitars.com is a music website started in January 2009. The ultimate in hipster blogging, the aim of the site is to showcase new and upcoming music – as independent and fresh as possible – to bring a constant stream of the latest indie music to our readers. Different columns are published every day of the week and collectively encompass streaming music, new releases, gig guides, featured artists, album reviews, cover version of the week, song of the week and brand new free (and always legal) downloads. The editorial focus branches out twice a week to include Green Thursdays – eco-friendly news and tips on going green, and Good Cause Fridays – charities and causes that we believe are easy to support and are making the world a better place.
While the site was founded, and is based in South Africa, its readership is mostly split between SA and the United States, with Europe being our third biggest base. The A Thousand Guitars iPhone app was downloaded 1600 times in its first year, and is used in over 600 cities across the globe. The Android app was launched a year after its iPhone predecessor and is doing similarly well.

ADVERTISE ON A THOUSAND GUITARS
Being at the forefront of music means our readers want to be at the forefront of retail and commercial trends too. They don’t say no to listening to something we recommend, even if it’s completely unknown by them. We aim to carry that trust through to our sponsors. The A Thousand Guitars online presence in countries like America, Canada and England mean that there is great potential for international brand exposure too, with no added effort.
