Attention bands: Radio for Indies offers airplay

Radio for Indies is offering indie bands the chance to be heard! Bands hailing from Southwest Michigan can now have their songs in rotation on the radio for a small fee.

Geno Hinton of Radio for Indies states, "We hope to bring attention to the music scene here in southwest Michigan. We hope that when people hear a song that they like that they will go out and buy the music."

Artists can submit their MP3 to be played for a fee of $20. Once submitted, the track will be played three times per day, seven days per week. The songs will be rotated so that each track has peak radio time.

To receive airplay, bands must be indie, be from southwest Michigan, and fall into the Rock, Metal, Alternative, Hip Hop, Rap, or R & B genres.

"We [Radio for Indies] see an opportunity to go after a resource of music that is untapped and under appreciated by local radio stations," said Henton.

For more information and to submit your music, contact Radio for Indies at radioforindies@gmail.com or preview Southwest Michigan's Indie Radio here. Check out Radio for Indies' Facebook.

Free exposure for bands & access for fans

Attention music lovers: fan clubs just went cellular!

Grand Rapids-based Brimstone Radio has met its perfect match: Adva Mobile. The two companies have combined services to become the next big avenue discovering new hot music acts.

Brimstone Radio began with handful of artists, a number that has grown exponentially since the service's beginning in 2006. Artists featured by Brimstone are now available via cell phone, thanks to Adva Mobile.

Adva Moble gives fans access to their favorite bands (and their favorites that they haven't discovered yet) through mobile internet pages, mobile commerce, messaging, and content-- all of which is accessed through the fan's cell phone.

Brad Simmons, Founder of Brimstone Mobile, says, "Adding mobile interaction to their arsenal will certainly enable our family of artists to build a strong and interactive fan base."

The joint effort of these two companies is geared toward independent music artists, specifically increasing their availability and accessibility through music news, downloads, artist interviews, music recommendations, contests, backstage passes and ticket sales, interviews, and more! Members can also communicate with other members and learn about Brimstone events via the Adva Mobile service.

In other words, Brimstone Radio provides all the talent you can handle, while Adva Mobile gives you the means to access it. But what about the cost? It's FREE for fans! And bands, this is an easy way to generate revenue-- FOR FREE!

Simmons says of the merger: "We're in it for the love of music- it's never been a money issue. The bands are why we're here!"
