Q: Will it get
published on Josaka?
A: There are no guarantees but well over 95% of reviews are published.
They will not be published if they are racist, offensive, lacking a degree
of objectivity (e.g. gushing self-penned reviews by a band about
themselves). Also please remember: Josaka only publishes reviews of live music events in
Berkshire or of Berkshire bands and artists performing elsewhere in the
country. Additionally we publish reviews of demos, EPs and albums from
Berkshire based bands and artists.
