Black Market Activities is an independent record label based out of Revere Massachusetts. Founded by Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord, BMA has been a home to several ground breaking bands such as The Red Chord, From A Second Story Window and Sleep Terror. The sound of their releases can be categorized in the metal, grind, hardcore, noise, thrash and just about every other "extreme" sub-genre and genre combination thinkable.
The first task I had to conquer for Black Market Activities was migrating their purely static website from one host to another. Once the site was migrated, Mike at The Nontoxic Group and I took to the task of some minor page redesigns and laying the groundwork for the use of a new system to power the News and Tour Dates sections of the site. The Black Market Activities site was actually one of the first uses of Hermes and I wrote a set of custom PHP objects for the site to communicate with the CMS. A year later, I was tapped again to help migrate the site to another host. At that time I took the oppurtunity to implement standard Hermes Objects on multiple areas of the site includes news, tour dates, artist roster, discography and their often used splash page.
