Toronto, ON. (Top40 Charts/ EyeShout Media) - EyeShout Media Inc. announces the official launch of indieSolo.com, a social networking site, solely dedicated to independent music, that showcases One Band a Day! IndieSolo is positioned to be the independent music industry's filter for discovering new music and some of the world's best indie artists.
IndieSolo.com launched it's first One Band a Day, while in Beta, on May 30, 2007 to give independent artists from around the world an effective marketing platform to promote their music, vibe, and brand without having to compete against other bands for exposure. Since its inception, the site has rapidly expanded to include an impressive collection of international artists, two of which were recently crowned top bands at the Canadian Indie Week Toronto Music Festival.
Although the Internet has fueled the growth of the independent music scene, it's also becoming home to an ever growing number of artists, of which the majority still live in obscurity and struggle to have their music discovered. Johnny i , creative founder of indieSolo.com explains "it's becoming a daunting and difficult task for the average music listener to search through hundreds of thousands of unknown independent artist profiles just to find and download quality music".
IndieSolo provides an effective and simple solution for filtering through the overwhelming mass of artists one would find on large web communities. IndieSolo features only One Band a Day, making it a destination for music lovers and industry professionals to easily discover upcoming artists and great music everyday. By browsing indieSolo's Artists, visitors can find past featured acts and download free MP3s and ringtones.
Unlike other music sites, bands must apply to be featured on indiesolo.com. Their applications are reviewed by indieSolo's music team and if approved, the band receives the spotlight for one day on indieSolo's homepage. Bands use the spotlight to promote their music, videos, photos, gigs, merchandise, CDs, including the release of new material. Following their one day feature, bands become part of an exclusive artist community where they are permanently showcased on indieSolo.
"The future shines for indieSolo" according to Rick Farrell, frontman for the band littleSUNDAY. He states "indieSolo is much more than a website that features great artists - it's an experience!". Farrell further notes "indieSolo creatively brings independent music to the forefront and gives artists exceptional opportunities by producing special events to deliver live music". IndieSolo recently featured its impressive line up of bands by connecting the emerging indie scene with college and university students at venues as inventive as a 'Rock the Harbor Boat Party' and a 'Halloween Barn Bash'.
