White Powder Gold - Up-and-Coming artist

White Powder Gold pack bundles of energy, enthusiasm and nothing but rock into every song. Their singles 'Can't Stop Me Now' , 'RockNRolla' and the 'Can't Stop Me Now' remix by Lewi White, will be played on Just Another Radio from this week. 

White Powder Gold are a new indie/rock band based in London.  They have been described as having an 'indie style with an urban twist' and we absolutely love this blend of genres. They have been featured on BBC Introducing, Alt Sounds and MTV Wrap-Up and are set to have a bright future in the music industry.

'Can't Stop Me Now' combines an addicting bass line intertwined with the awesome riff and rocking vocals to create 3 minutes and 49 seconds of pure awesome. More importantly for some, the lyrics evoke being unstoppable and alive, much like rock music itself. Its hard to remember the last time a rock group has displayed such talent with such attitude and power. 

'RockNRolla' is the song that pushes the boundaries. A high tempo. A catchy riff. Turn-it-up worthy vocals. Everything a rock song should have. It shows off the diversity of the group and honestly, I can't pick a favourite song as they are all unique in their own awesome way. 

Overall, White Powder Gold revive rock and smash almost every modern pop artist out of the water. Both these singles should be on your mp3 player or laptop by the end of today and if they are not, I will be very disappointed in you :P Their music is addicting and any rock fan should keep an eye out for them in the future as they have huge potential. 

We asked them a few questions, and here's what they said:

What inspired you to become a band?

The progression from playing to a cd to live needed the sound of a full band so we grew with our sound.

Who are your main influences?

Stooge's, Stones Roses, Sizzla, 2pac, Beastie Boys, Muddy Waters, Rage against the Machine and the Beasty boys

What is your best memory with White Powder Gold?

When we found the right musicians for the band and the sound progressed.

Where does the name come from?  

The name comes from the subatomic element of the ancient Egyptians . It was rediscovered recently , it was eaten to to heighten brain connectivity .

I Swim With Sharks - Up-and-Coming artist

 

Their logo!

I Swim With Sharks!

I Swim with Sharks have created their own Indie rock/pop style that excels in being dynamic and seamlessly catchy. They are made up of three members, Luke, Evan and Phil, from Yorkshire. This isn't just about their music. They provide the whole package with the feel and creativity of each music video or website post. They have been acclaimed to 'play with precision and effortlessness' by the Leeds Music Scene.

Their single, Build Me Up, is dynamic to say the very least. It evokes pure rock from the rock era and infectiously will have you yearning for more. We have to commend all the band members as the instrumentation and vocals together are just incredible. 

Their support already has been both impressive and thoughtful, websites and companies such as BBC Introducing, Q Radio and Kerrang! TV are some of those people and we are glad we can be another one! 

'With a string of festival appearances secured for this summer, I Swim With Sharks are steadily building a place as underground favorites for 2012 and beyond.'

The Cat That Walks Alone - Up-and-Coming Artist

Recently added to our Up-and-Coming section is the Indie Rock artist 'The Cat That Walks Alone'. 

His second single Push/Pull is released on the 27th February 

2012. We think this new single will have you playing this song on repeat; his unique voice just seems to perfectly fit the detailed rhythm - not forgetting the catchy choruses. It's an outstanding track and we wish Cameron (a.k.a. The Cat That Walks Alone) great success in the future. The new single Push/Pull is now airing on Just Another Radio and we encourage you to purchase the track (if you like it as much as we do) when it is released on the 27th February.

''Push/Pull is the follow up single to his debut, which has now sold over 500 copies through airplay and word of mouth alone.  The new single’s intricately layered guitars weave around an infectious synth and soaring chorus giving elements of MGMT, Biffy Clyro and Grandaddy, yet remaining characteristic of The Cat That Walks Alone in it's distinct vocals and pounding groove."

“Gorgeous...”  Gary Crowley, BBC Introducing

“With big choruses, and an unmistakeable voice, The Cat is definitely one to watch!” The Good Villager

“A cracker of a debut..”  Jim Gellatly, In:demand Uncut

Top 10 Chart Comparison (29th & 5th)

A new song called 'Tongue Tied' by 'Grouplove' has taken this weeks number 1 spot, knocking 'Jerk it Out' down to number 5. After 5 weeks of holding on strong, 'Shake it Out' has disappeared off the charts, however Florence + The Machine re-enters the chart at number 2 with 'No Light, No Light'. At number 3 is 'Civilization' by 'Justice' (the people who made the 'D.A.N.C.E' song).  They got this song partially because how strange/awesome the music video is (see below). Another new entry, includes the not-so-new 'Five Years Time' by Noah and The Whale. The songs that have disappeared from last week's charts include 'Dakota', 'Rose', 'Fast Cars' and 'Shake it Out'. 

I hope you enjoyed this week's charts and please tune in next week at the same time (12 noon or 7pm GMT) for a special Top 10 show to be revealed later!

SUDDYN - Up-and-Coming Artist

SUDDYN are a recent up-and-coming band to be added to Just Another Radio. As a personal opinion, their songs are very well-written - they are also extremely catchy with great rhythms!They will be added to the 'Up-and-Coming' tab above, along with Kevin M Thomas.


SUDDYN'S Biography
Developing their piano-driven electro-rock sound into what it is today, SUDDYN stemmed from humble beginnings in Montauk, New York, growing into the international band they have become. Formed by brothers Alan (vocals, piano, synths) and Jarrett (guitar, vocals, bass) Steil, the band honed its music while touring through Ireland. Using their allure to crack the Irish music scene, the group returned to New York with 3 Top 30 hits, a devoted following, and a string of equally impressive hangovers. Blessed with panty-dropping good looks, they bring energy and presence to their shows unmatched since Genghis Khan conquered Mongolia. Incorporating a savvy knowledge of production values, SUDDYN followed their debut EP Dark Lights, with Before the City, produced by Grammy Award-winner David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime). 


In 2011, trading winter jackets and pasty skin for sunglasses and tans, SUDDYN brought the show to the West Coast. Playing an intensive schedule in LA-area bars and clubs, they garnered heavy attention from KROQ and MTV. 

Continuing with their budding success they have shared the stage over the past year with the likes of Vampire Weekend; Matt and Kim; We Are Scientists and Bright Eyes. Their new music video for “Nothing Lasts Forever" is really gathering steam as well having been featured on Much Music's The Wedge, Music Choice, MTV.com, Yahoo Music and it was AOL’s music video of the day.

Stat's Review News!

As you may or may not know, in order to keep my radio going, I need to get a certain amount of listening hours. After a specific time period, the stats are reviewed by the hosting site and then that determines whether the radio continues. So, today, it has been 2 months since the radio has been broadcasting - I have achieved 71 listening hours per day (average 30 days) which surpasses the 12 hrs needed. However, the news I got today stated I am still a basic user until 30th February, so I have more time to get more listeners to achieve my next target!

The stats I have today :)

This is a bit of a boring post, but it is very important as it concerns the future of Just Another Radio :D

Top 10 Chart Comparison (22nd & 29th)

The Caesars are the first to keep the Number 1 spot so far this year! Each time someone keeps the spot, it will shine brighter :D However, there have been a lot of new entries and old entries kicked off. Jimi Hendrix has jumped in at #2, pushing Snow Patrol off the Top 10 and Princess of China to #3.

Florence + the Machine has remained on the charts at #10 but will she be able to hold on until next week? Other new entries include: Rosé, Message in a Bottle, Dakota and Hotel California.

 So, this week saw some of the Rock Classics such as Purple Haze hijack the chart; tune in next Sunday at 12noon or 7pm!

Scheduling & Stuff

Scheduling and stuff and problems and updates

 and solutions and more problems and good things 

and bad things and rotas!

Our Radio Manager issue is still going on as our ingenious solution didn't work. :( We might have to separate the week days between us, so we both have music libraries but they aren't the same. However, this is a good thing! We have a wider music library and days can be themed and different so it keeps it fresh.

The music at the moment does go with the time it is. In the morning there is feel-good, calm reggae, soul and funk. Then gradually, you move into more chart songs and rock. As the day progresses there will be some more rap. Finally, at night there will be more dubstep. In addition, we won't just stop the reggae, funk and soul, as that is what our radio focuses around. There is a nice mix during the middle of the day, where there is an equal bit of 

everything. 

Some song names and artists to be revealed later on! Please submit your song suggestions and favourite artists in the comments or tweet us @Radio_JAR
