Hitsquad was a publisher of websites for people who make music and those who want to make music with a focus on the musical equipment space.

We provided targeted guides for a wide range of product categories for those looking to buy musical instruments or equipment. We developed a unique content research methodology and scoring system that helps ensure our information is accurate and trusted. Starting as a music software directory, Hitsquad has been operating since 1996 and we have worked with many of the major brands in retailing and manufacturing since then.
