Drowned in Sound or DiS is a UK based music webzine dedicated to new music. The site is mostly based on contributions from unpaid writers and has an integrated forum to allow for discussion and comments on interviews, news and reviews. It also includes a user rated database of artists and bands as well as details for most live music venues (big and small) in the UK. Aside from space for comments, there are separate forums for general discussion, music related discussion and advertisements for people requiring bands or musicians. The site has over 40,000 registered members, and gets around 155,000 unique visitors per week.The basic layout of the site is based on standard tables but is divided into different sections by a menu on the top left hand side - news, reviews, features, listings, community (a message board) and shop. They all follow the same layout and fit into the same template, with only the content changing, which gives the website a sense of continuity.
