History
Consequence of Sound was founded in September 2007 by Alex Young, then a student at
Fordham University in The Bronx, New York.[5] In January 2008, Michael Roffman
became Editor-in-Chief. In October 2014, Consequence of Sound began covering film
and became a part of the Chicago Film Critics Association.[6] In 2016, Consequence
of Sound was reorganized under the umbrella of Consequence Media, a digital media,
advertising, and marketing firm.[7] In 2018, Consequence of Sound launched the
Consequence Podcast Network, averaging over 100,000 downloads in its first month.
[8] In 2019, Consequence of Sound partnered with Sony Music for the launch of a
music documentary podcast series called The Opus.[9] Also in 2019, Consequence of
Sound partnered with StubHub to launch a live content hub and events series.[10] In
2021, Consequence of Sound launched a redesign of their website, and rebranded to
Consequence[citation needed]

Influence
Consequence is listed as one of the most influential music websites by Technorati.
[11] In 2010, About.com ranked Consequence the year's best music blog, based on
"Technorati rankings and the online buzz throughout the year".[12] In the Spring of
2014, Style of Sound calculated that Consequence charted as the second most
influential music blog. In 2019, Consequence ranked among the top 10 most
influential music blogs by Hypebot.[13]

In 2009, Consequence reported that Paul McCartney and The Killers would headline
the 2009 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival prior to its lineup announcement.
[14]

In 2015, Consequence was the first to break news of LCD Soundsystem's reunion tour.
[15]

In 2018, Consequence documented alleged abuse allegations against Dave Matthews

Band violinist Boyd Tinsley. Boyd was later fired from the band.[16]
