"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps
run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." (Hunter S. Thompson)
NYUB was created to provide on-demand refuge from main-stream radio. NYUB harnesses podcasting technology to bring direct to you, the best independent and unsigned artists from the rock and electronic music genres. It's not your usual bollocks.....because mainstream radio is shit.
'We're betting that podcasts will revolutionise the way you discover new music...NYUB showcases unsung subgenres and starts with a truly awful song to ward off the snobs' - Spin Magazine, October 2005
"NYUB has precisely nothing to lose and everything to gain, while Radio 1 are torturing the nation with their electronic Chris Moyles archive, probably blissfully unaware of how tragically awful they seem, NYUB is receiving more and more music from bands and labels to play each day" - Playlouder Magazine, January 2005
"NYUB...it's always good to get off the beaten track" - Computer Music UK, October 2005

Playlouder.com has an article on the commercialisation of myspace.com and it's imminent move into the UK market via a joint venture with CD:UK. NYUB is mentioned as an alternative, less commercial option to exploring new music, as part of the broader indie music podcasting scene.

I been listening to a really unusual band recently " Clever Bastards ".
Totally fresh sounding with a classic rock feel to them.
They've got original Heart Members in them Roger Fisher / Mike Derosier, but are fronted by an English guy Mike Curley from Birmingham - And man can he sing.
Lyrics and vocals are killer - musically they kick ass.
There on iTunes cause I down loaded the album and there website says they're gonna start Podcasts as well.
Oh and they also have this killer version of the kids song PLAY AWAY - YES PLAY AWAY. It's Great

Keep up the good work
