Meet the staff of Rats in the Hallway webzine. You can use this for a little insight to our minds and tastes, so if you're a band and you were thinking of sending something in, you can match up your musical style to a reviewer's tastes, thus getting a better, more accurate/informed review. If they're in your area, they can probably even go check you out (or maybe already have!).
