Word of mouth. I used to visit two record stores. They knew what I liked and would tell me about new bands and would let me listen if I wanted to. A little thing called customer service that you don’t find these days.
Other sources include hanging around in clubs talking to people about music, especially making friends with the DJ (when djs actually used a turntable and had a dozen boxes of records, and we’re quite happy to chat, rather than waving their hands in the air and twiddling knobs)
