For a band that doesn’t get radio airplay, that is even more amazing.
I loathe the music industry because it denies the market the acts that are genuinely popular. It pushes Britney-Pink-JayZ-AmericanIdol rehash.
I fully agree with you. More often than not, the bands I find out about are either from word of mouth, clicking their albums while browsing bands on Amazon.com, or in the most recent case, going to a concert and loving what I saw and heard.
