drownedinsound.org Drowned in Sound, sometimes abbreviated to DiS, is a UK-based music webzine financed by artist management company Silentway.

DiS began as an email fanzine in 1998 called The Last Resort but was relaunched by founder and editor Sean Adams as Drowned in Sound in 2000.

[citation needed] The site was mostly based on contributions from unpaid writers and had an integrated forum to allow for discussion and comments on interviews, news and reviews.

[3] DiS was involved with the Summer Sundae festival since 2008, and in 2010 kicked off their 10th anniversary celebrations with a line-up headlined by the Futureheads and Frightened Rabbit.

[citation needed] The site and a handful of its writers received nominations at the 2006 Record of the Day awards, held in London on 21 November 2006.
