Coupla Links
Here are a couple of amazing sites I've discovered recently:
Allmusic
A huge database of discographies, artist biographies and reviews. It's not up-to-the-second accurate, and some bands (Aussie mostly) tend to be lacking in much info, but if the group you're looking for is there, there is likely tons of info.
Grammar
Incredible site - never again will you wonder how to properly use a colon! Features a mammoth list of issues to read about.
