How do you track the concerts you've been to?
Spotify knows every song you've played since 2012. Last.fm tracked your scrobbles. Apple Music has your library. Letterboxd has every film. Goodreads has every book.
The nights that hit hardest live in a camera roll you will never sort, a drawer of wristbands, and a memory that gets blurrier every year. There was no real record for any of it.
So we built one.
That record is what makes the rest of SoundOff work. Shows picked for your taste, and nights planned with your crew, get sharper because they are based on shows you have actually logged, not a generic city calendar. The journal is the engine behind the recommendations, not a separate feature.
"I've been to so many life-changing shows and I'm terrified I'm going to forget them." Morgan, 29, Brooklyn
Why is SoundOff live music only?
Streaming data is infinite, and infinite data dilutes everything. If your all-time list includes 80,000 songs beside 300 concerts, the concerts disappear.
Live shows are finite and irreplaceable. You can stream Radiohead tomorrow. You cannot go back to Madison Square Garden, October 2019. That is what we protect.
SoundOff is built for people who go to live music. Your log is the source of truth for taste and recommendations - not a second streaming app. The ranking system stays about nights you actually attended.
Why star ratings fall short
Everyone gives five stars to almost everything. Put two shows side by side and ask which one was better, and the truth comes out. Over time that comparison data shows which night actually wins, not which one you feel like praising today.
Is this only for people who go to 50 shows a year?
No. You need to care about the shows you do attend. Six carefully chosen nights a year still deserve a record.
What we are building
A complete record of the live music you experienced: ranked, timestamped, yours. And a community that treats live music as a way of measuring a life, not a hobby tab.
