It's a dead zone, and another promising startup gone wrong. You will have more chances to find "concert buddies" just by leaving the house. Yes, even if you live in Barrow, Alaska. Terrible user interface and a site filled with mostly inactive profiles... whoever wrote that 5 star review so obviously works for TasteBuds it's not even funny.

Whilst the idea is a good one, the people behind tastebuds are clearly not very technical when it comes to websites and software.
The website functions poorly on mobile, running slow and constantly freezing. There is no android app available either.
This could have been a brilliant site, but it has suffered due to the lack of technical know-how from its creators. Such a waste.

Like music?
November 14, 2013

Like music? You will LOVE this!
Lovely clear layout Yes the theme is based solely on music and YOUR tastes.
You get to truly personalize your profile and they are adding much more to the site AND a number of shiny new fun features. Not to mention the quirky little emails you get from them from time to time to keep you updated and all in the know.
Plenty of chatty people for networking, friends, dating or Get this! ~concert buddies!

Terrible.
October 20, 2015

The site is a complete waste of time and crap. If you enjoy anything that's not mainstream crappy rock bands then you're out of luck. The site didn't even attempt to match me to people with at least a somewhat similar taste in music. It actually gave me fans of bands that I can't stand. Then it limits your feed to these people who have terrible tastes and they'll be on the other side of the planet too. Isn't this a dating app!? WTF!? Like I'm going to go fly to the damn UK, that's unrealistic. The site has VERY FEW members as well. A complete waste of time.

Hardly any matches anywhere near me, no replies - likely no women have paid to join.
Admin ignore questions. You are just going to give your money away. Would you give a stranger in the street your money? Why give it way here then

This site was really poor. When I went to deactivate my account, I was given a chance to change almost every profile setting before I could actually 'continue to deactivating my account', as they put it. As a social network which revolves around music tastes... you'd think you could message the people you see with similar music tastes. But no. You have to pay a subscription just to get that privilege.

Also, it is very clear to me that the other review of this website was written by one of the owners.
