Stats & Monthly Review - Advanced User

 'We're glad to announce you that your daily average audience is 121 streamed hours [on average over a 30 day period], thus you have reached the audience level required. Congratulations!'

Just Another Radio lives on! We've just received the email to say we can continue broadcasting for 6 months because we've had enough listeners. February has been a busy month for Just Another Radio; we smashed our own highest record several times (it currently stands at over 200 listening hours in one day!) and have added/are adding lots of new (incredible) Up-and-Coming artists. In addition, we've been featured on the front page of Radionomy itself! As well as this, at the start of February, we had the Indie themed Top 10 and created that ever-so-awesome post on the best Indie songs of 2012 so far. Although we haven't had any live shows yet, that doesn't mean we haven't been working on them! They are almost ready to get broadcasting, we just need to fix and fine tune some technical shenanigans. 

'Your radio is now 'Advanced', and you have a 6 months period to reach the second audience level of 130 daily streamed hours to become a 'Premium' user.' 

However, the work to keep Just Another Radio doesn't stop here. Very recently stats have been lower than normal and this is impacting our average streaming hours. We need to get over 130 average hours and that means we need you to keep tuning in! March is filled with lots of ideas for Just Another Radio from improved Top 10 live shows, more music, more up-and-coming artists and starting work on a project for our YouTube channel. 

Keep listening!

The Cat That Walks Alone - New Single Out Today!

The Cat That Walks Alone's latest single 'Push/Pull' is out today!

You may remember The Cat That Walks Alone as one of our Up-and-Coming artists (see article here) and we have been playing the song Push/Pull on the radio, but now you can finally buy it yourself! We completely agree that this has an 'infectious' tune and we know it will have a large appeal to our audience. On a more personal level, as soon as I hear that first riff when it starts playing on Just Another Radio, I can help but smile! It's a really great track and after a few listens, you will be singing it in your head all day!

You can purchase it here - http://thecatthatwalksalone.co.uk/ - from the secure site, Bandcamp as well as other major digital outlets.

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

You can support The Cat That Walks Alone through Facebook, Twitter and Myspace or visit his website.

Stat's Review (Update)

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. 

Seven days ago, when I did the last stats review, I had achieved 70 listening hours average per day (over 30 day average). In these seven days, I have beaten my record amount of listening hours three times! Yesterday saw the highest amount of listening hours Just Another Radio had ever had - 164 hours.

Most recent stats :D 

The next Stats Review post will be at the end of the month, so no more boring stuff 'till then.

Next week's Top 10 will be 100% Indie for one week only and then the chart show will return back to normal the next week! Tune in at 12 noon and 7pm on Sunday to hear what are our Top 10 Indie songs!

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.
