Scene Point Blank is a music webzine founded in March 2003 by four individuals on the AFI messageboard. The site initially began with a focus on hardcore/punk but has since expanded in its seven-years-and-counting history to cover indie, hip-hop, pop, jazz and more. One of the site’s early goals to set it apart from competitors was our “multiple author” reviewing concept. Several writers would tackle the same record and give individual scores which were then averaged out for the overall rating. This balanced effort at reviewing also carries over into the site’s methods for forming “Best Of” lists at the end of the year – each staffer submits a list of their top records and this is compiled into an overall, democratically-selected site list – no editorialising
