Ta for the feedback! Just what I wanted to hear
The BIO is on my "to-do" list to rewrite. It is currently just copy and pasted from somewhere else (My CD Baby page iirc). It needs to be more focused on selling James Nighthawk "the artist" I agree. But conversely, anyone that invested to read that far has already been "snagged" so it isn't a pressing issue that worries me toooo much!
Music on page one: This was discussed at length. Now. Autoplay is a dirty word so was never gonna happen. We decided that (a) the music option is very visible, and might encourage people to take the free download/check out iTunes once they see the options as well as stream off the site and (b) a high% of the traffic will be from social networks or recommendations. These people will have heard something to start with and/or be happy for a couple of clicks.
BUT I do see your point. Fewer clicks the better to get to the music itself. Point noted for version 1.1 discussion 
The BLOG will be all encompassing for now. It is a shame that the current recent posts are gig reviews, it does give the wrong impression I agree. I'll post something quickly more about ME to bump these down. For better or worse, gig reviews get me traffic esp off google/social Networks. Traffic = more potential fans. I can streamline once the numbers are up - Right now I just want bums-on-seats!! 
Yeah good point on the bio. By the time someone reads the bio section of a band, they have probably already decided they liked them. So it is less of a section to say who you are/what you do, but to re-inforce their image of you being 'cool'. I guess this is where having a strong self-identity and awareness of your 'brand' comes into play. You need to know the kind of people that will find the music cool and tailor you bio/image accordingly.
Also agree with no autoplay. It's annoying when websites do that
. I was thinking more of a player/video on the front page. But you are right though - the music section is obvious. But it is not so obvious that some of the songs there can actually be played. I didn't realise until the 3rd time I clicked on that tab...
I understand your thinking about gig reviews. My thinking was not so much about etiquette to fellow musicians, but the impact of reviews on your (potential) fans. Imagine a fan of...x band hears your music and then reads your negative review about x band. Their image of you will worsen. Now - a logical argument might be that 'but that shouldnt affect what they think of music', but it does. Music, image (and therefore, sales) are linked.
It will work the other way around aswell ....someone hates x band and then read your positive review of them...
If they haven't even heard your music...this might stop them from bothering to listen.
As you will keep the reviews, I would be very careful about what you give good and bad reviews. Again, this goes back to knowing your market and pigeon-holing your image.
