New Music Express

From Radio Websites in Radio User, March 2012 http://www.radiouser.co.uk/

New Music Express

The I Like Music website is a useful resource coupled with DAB station Amazing Radio which champions new and unsigned bands. The former is at www.ilikemusic.com  with their YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/ilikemusic  


Amazing Radio is at http://amazingradio.co.uk/  and always a good station to drop in on if you want a quick burst of new and inspiring sounds. The combination of I Like Music and Amazing Radio led me to uncover a new London based band by the name of Public Service Broadcasting. Fitting into the Ambient, sample-dropping electronic genres their debut single is out in early March. ROYGBIV (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet) is on Test Card Recordings. View the video at http://www.ilikemusic.com/news/Public_Service_Recordings_ROYGBIV  and see http://publicservicebroadcasting.bandcamp.com/  


My current favourites are a Brooklyn band called Field Mouse who I stumbled upon last year. They are influenced by the early 1990s shoe-gazing indie movement and to my ears sound divine. There us melancholic and retro feel to their songs, which I hope will be given radio air play soon. At the moment they are gigging around the USA, mostly locally in New York.
