The name comes from the Quiet Revolution (Révolution tranquille), a period of rapid change in Quebec, Canada in the 1960s.

The changes were the result of many important transformations within Quebec society, just as important changes within the music industry today are heralding a new music revolution based on the internet, the DIY spirit and digital means of distributing music.

While this site will cover significant music news/events that all musicians should be aware of, as well as marketing ideas for bands to consider, a significant portion of time will be dedicated to covering the local music scene.

Music coverage ideally will be:
Halifax > Nova Scotia > East Coast > Canada > Indie > Everything else

If you have any suggestions or would like to bring any coverage local acts have received else where to our attention please email info (at) aquietrevolution.com
