History

EARMILK began as a small mp3 blog in April 2009.[2] In the following decade, EARMILK grew to its multinational status of today, with writers stationed across Canada and the United States.[3]

Content

In 2013, Refinery29 included EARMILK on its list of "The Best Music Blogs That Aren't Pitchfork."[4] In 2017, the online electronica publication EDM Sauce featured EARMILK in its list of the seven best dubstep blogs on the internet.[2] EARMILK has a noted focus on underground music and their mission statement further specifies their interest in "underground discoveries across all musical genres."[3] In 2015, San Francisco music journalist David Sikorski[5] took over as Senior Editor of the site. Sikorski has since moved the site from its earlier blog era and into a global media publication with a writing staff of 75 contributors from 6 different countries at any given time throughout the year.

Similar to other online music publications, many EARMILK articles are focused on musical premieres of indie and major label artists.[6][7][8] In 2010, for instance, EARMILK premiered Baths' single "Maximalist," which was later featured on Pitchfork and other online music publications.[9] In addition to its music journalism content, EARMILK publishes articles on events, apparel, and art.[3]
