Two UK bands are promoting their work through a new site created to enable podcasters access to session quality music - pre cleared for use in Podcast. The site, which is in the early stages of development, is www.unsignedUKmusic.com, and the bands are Up4TheDownstroke, and Dynamo's Rhythm Aces. Podcasters may download and play it now - each band only asks for a referral link back to their site.

"Down with Everything" has been the intro music on a very popular Podcast novel for a few months now, getting literally thousands of plays each week. The fact that the band are now releasing their album and allowing podcasters to play their tracks on great independent music podcasts like those found in the Association of Music Podcasting is a testament to how effective a partnership between these undiscovered artists and podcasters is becoming.

Podcast NYC - http://www.podcastnyc.net/ - is a good spot for NYC musicians to get their songs up and played on podcasts. I've got my new track "Ashley's Lament" up there:

Hello Alex I'm the manager of the Transfer it was my idea to promote to podcasters enmasse the same way you would promote to terrestrial radio stations. I believe I am the first record label to do so. I have us on over 30 podcast stations. I believe developing relationships with the podcasters is just as important as knowing your local commercial or college stations program director.
It's a way to reach the people who may get really excited about your music instead of someone who is getting paid to play it. You could compare the podcasters to college radio. College uses promotions to play bands but if they don't like it or feel passion about the song they won't play it.
Why don't you give us spin or mention on YOUR podcast. Thanks for the mention.
