Brand New Social Networking Site from HMV

HMV are launching a brand new social networking site, called GetCloser.com, in the UK. This is not another Myspace or Facebook though, this is a way to boast about your favourite films, bands, albums, actors etc and to make it easy to find new stuff to check out through recommendations of other fans. You can rate your favourites as well as write reviews and make connections between different artists (e.g. Soilwork to Coldseed because they both have Bjorn "Speed" Strid as their vocalist).

It is currently in it's Beta stages, and they're still ironing things out, but looks like when it's up and running fully, that it will be a decent site to use and find new music. It's currently only open to residents in the UK, I don't know if will become a site you can use worldwide.

We do have our own group on there though, so if you decide to sign up, then make sure you join the Metaholic Music group:
