At Tell It Like It Is, we call a spade a shovel. If you're politically correct, easily offended, a bleeding heart or simpering do-gooder, this website is not for you.

Furthermore, journos are neither employed nor paid by bands, promoters, record companies, venue owners, event organisers, vehicle manufacturers, etc. If we were, we'd be called publicists, and publicists are paid exorbitant fees to say nice things in effusive press releases in order to sell an artist or event or a product. We just tell it like it is.
