No not Hype Machine. Most of you probably found this place because of Hype Machine so that would be completely pointless. I’m talking about the just launched Boston based website that covers the local New England indie music scene as well as subjects like beer, film, video games, and tomato soup. Created by two friends who are willing to expose their imaginations and twisted opinions to the world, TheHyp.net is more than just another music review site. See, this website doesn’t care if you agree with its skewed view on the world of music, in fact, it prefers you didn’t. TheHyp.net opens up discussion on its message board and displays a rating system at the bottom of each page, giving you the reader the opportunity to voice your opinion on whatever is posted on TheHyp.
I have already contributed reviews, a few special Kuestionnaires, and a monthly mix to TheHyp.net. So add them to your bookmarks and show them some love.

Here’s a few highlights from theHyp.net mix…
