Coldplay's latest single 'Charlie Brown' takes the Number 1 spot off Ben Howard. New singles in the chart include 'M83- Midnight City', the great 'One Day Like This' by Elbow and of course, 'Charlie Brown'. 'Young Blood', a great feel-good track, has made its way up to Number 7 along with Somebody That I used to Know, which has also moved up by one spot. No Light, No Light has fallen three spaces, down to Number 6. Tongue Tied has fallen off the chart. I hope that you enjoyed these chart shows; you can send your suggestions to justanotherradio@gmail.com! Keep tuned in!
The Number 1 spot is shining brighter because for the second week in the running, Coldplay have hung onto the spot fighting off the latest entries of the new and old tracks.

Below is the cinematic/sci-fi-ish style music video for Titanium by David Guetta and Sia which has been acclaimed as one of the stand-out tracks on David Guetta's latest album 'Nothing But The Beat'. Also, it has received many comments such as 'David Guetta's best track so far' and we personally think that it is too.

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 .

Days of Eclipse combine experimental sounds and atmospheric music to create their own unique style of music; there really is no genre for them, they are purely Days of Eclipse. In 2010 they were voted as 'Alternative Band of the Year' in a local press and are continuing to gain recognition and popularity.
Some of the recognition Days Of Eclipse has achieved includes debuting on MTV Baltic & Coca-Cola contest Soundwave 2008 (for unsigned bands).
Their music is enchanting and very atmospheric; we found that their single 'The Rain' gradually builds up in atmosphere and progresses into deep, emphatic sounds. Their live shows seem packed full of energy; even just watching the videos (on the highest volume, of course) makes you feel like you're involved. We think that they will be recognizable because of their distinct, experimental sound and original capabilities to create such an atmospheric journey in such a small time. If you want to hear more of them, you're in luck; their latest album 'Fracture' is in late Spring 2012 and they are planning to go on an international Spring-Summer Tour. Some of their released singles from the album includes The Rain, We are Not Forsaken and MHSS (My Heart Stood Still) - you should definitely check these out and more here - http://daysofeclipse.com/tour12.
We were lucky enough to ask them a few questions and here's what they said:
1. What/who has inspired you to become a band?
At the beginning this project was an one man’s band. When my ex-metalcore act [Dark Ward] went on hiatus, I needed something to fill the emptiness. One day watching the A. Sokurov’s art-house movie “DaysofEclipse” I got the idea to transfer all the gloomy atmosphere of that movie, which also embodied my feelings of that time, to music. I think that day DaysofEclipse was born. I started composing and recording material for my new project, then a few weeks later I understood that female vocals would perfectly fit this new material. I had an idea to combine cold industrial sounds and harsh guitar riffs with the fragility and warmth of a feminine voice. Years later through many changes in the band’s line-up I finally found the perfect vocalist - Egle Naujokaityte and a team linked with mutual ideas and visions.
2. Which artists have influenced you the most?
Everyone of us has different influences in music and arts generally. I grew up listening to alternative rock and metal bands, but my first musical love which I carried through all these years was Nine Inch Nails. I think Egle can name her influences as various art rock and post punk acts such as David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, New Order and etc. The other guys listen to a wide specter of rock music from Tool to Dir En Grey. I think the basic influence to our sound made bands that had some sort industrial feel in their music – cold mechanical sound, deep drones and noisy atmospheres.
3. What do you do in general band session?
Anything you can imagine. From practice to generating new ideas as well as elaborating old ones. We have separate studios for rehearsing and recording, so usually we walk in the studio only when we have well elaborated ideas.
4. What makes you different from other bands?
I think this question goes to our listeners, not to us. They can observe the whole process from the outside and then “judge”. I think that we are unable to speak about our musical identity or musical marginality. Surely I could name you a dozen of thing I think we do great, but all in all I can’t see the “whole picture” from a distance.
5. Do you have any favourite albums?
I must admit that we are truly in love with our upcoming album. But I can name Nine Inch Nails “The Downward Spiral” and “Fragile” as one of the greatest albums I've ever heard, also I can admit that Scott Walker’s “Tilt”, Radiohead’s “Hail to the Thief” and Slipknot’s “Iowa” made a huge influence on me. Egle’s favorite albums are Japan's "Tin Drum", Beck's "Mutations", Peter Gabriel's "Us", Talking Head's "Remain in Light", PJ Harvey's "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" among others, as I know it.
6. What's the best memory you've had with DaysofEclipse?
In October 2009 we took a part in alternative music festival “Sober and Free”. The idea was to show that a rock concert can happen without any drugs or alcohol. However it was an open air festival in the centre of city and it is very cold in Vilnius in late October. The backstage of this festival was a tent behind the main stage. The coffee machine wasn’t the best savior so we went to an alcohol shop on a nearby street and bought some whiskey. Coffee mixed with whiskey wasn’t the dream cocktail but it helped us not to freeze to death. At the end of the evening we took a stage drunk enough. The performance was great and DaysofEclipse got a big resonance in local press. We weren’t sober but we were so free – isn’t that the real meaning of true rock’n’roll?

The single 'My Heart Stood Still' varies from 'The Rain', showing the bands capabilities to show such a range of experimental sounds. The vocals against the addictive electronic sounds are particularly impressive and explores a whole new part of Days of Eclipse. You can hear the song here and also on Just Another Radio!

To help you enjoy your Friday evening, we've collected a few of our favourite videos from YouTube. Firstly, the Voice box/Talk Box cover of Daft Punk (bottom left video) is really awesome and if you like it you will probably love searching through other voice box covers and originals. Secondly, the bottom right video is the cinematic, sci-fi-esque music video for Titanium, by David Guetta ft. Sia; it has been acclaimed as the standout track on David Guetta's latest album 'Nothing But The Beat' and we, as well as many others, think it is his best track. The video in the top left is nothing but inspiring. It's not music related but tells the story of the iconic 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster; its definitely worth a watch. In the top right, we have featured the video for the Holi Festival of Colours 2011. It's just passed this years Festival of Colours in India on March 8th, but the video is really uplifting and enjoyable to watch. I hope you enjoy them!
On Friday 16th March at 6:30pm (GMT) we will be airing our first ever 'Feel The Vibe' radio show, hosted by Adrian Anghel.
Feel The Vibe is a radio show that brings to you all the alternative genres, from indie to rock, from urban to punk, from dubstep to dancehall and drum and bass to funk.
All of this in just 30minutes. You will also get to hear some exclusive interviews, first-play songs and many other things. Stay tuned and feel the vibe!
Staying true to our radio revolution (see here) the episode will be available to listen to on Spreaker and also you can hear it on the website. You can access it before the show is aired on Friday and will stay available since! We'll keep you informed if we decide to do more shows or repeats and when they happen!
Hopefully the last time you'll be seeing these pictures^
We've successfully reached 130 hours average over 30 days which means Just Another Radio won't get deleted off Radionomy. To recap, we had 9 months to get to this, and we have achieved it in 3-4 months! Now we need to keep the listening hours up or we'll go below 131 hours a day. Also, we have smashed our record again with 450 hours in one day. Live shows, more music and other surprises coming soon!
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.'

With thousands of people joining new music services such as Spotify or listening to short radio shows on sites like Mixcloud and Spreaker, where does the future of internet radio lie?
It doesn't seem likely that internet radio will become extinct any time soon because of the 'Rise Of The Smartphones' (that should totally be a movie). However, with the growing popularity of Spotify ,which is often linked with social networks, streaming music is spreading fast and gaining momentum. Some people will no longer listen to their favourite internet radio station as the giant library of music is now waiting on their desktop, ready to be clicked on...but wait! Internet Radios must have an answer to this, surely? Websites and services such as iTunes radio, TuneIn Radio and Radionomy have hundreds of internet radio stations and we mustn't forget that playlists and radio are different things.
Radios make you feel so much more involved with the music, the artists and the community of radio hosts. Consequently, the internet takes another strike at internet radio: Spreaker and Mixcloud. But is this actually an attack on internet radio or just a revolution of it? These websites are giving people the freedom of Spotify as well as the feel of internet radio. Once again reinventing how we listen to music. So, what are we, Just Another Radio, going to do about this? Firstly, we are going to improve our radio as much as we possibly can. Creating a huge variety of rock, indie, alternative and urban tracks we hope to appeal to a wide audience and hopefully more people will appreciate these different styles of music. The next few weeks will see a major improvement in the radio! Secondly, we are going to embrace the revolution. We are trying to link our Top 10 shows with Spotify, create the Ultimate Playlist on Spotify and creating live shows on Spreaker or Mixcloud. We will simply link all our accounts back to here, Just Another Radio. Internet Radio is going to better than ever, and we hope you can stay tuned in for the journey.
Somebody That I Used to know has claimed its 5 week reign at Number 1 on many charts, and finally reach Number 1 for a second time on our charts (after Indie week)! There are some great tunes returning and replacing other songs such as 'Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs', 'You are a Tourist - Death Cab for Cutie' and 'Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand'.
The rest of the charts is fairly similar as all the songs are holding on strong, although, some shuffling about has occurred. Florence + The Machine has moved to Number 3 from Number 1, 'The Wolves - Ben Howard' is gaining speed towards the Number 1 spot, now at Number 5 and we have a brand new song by Jason Mraz at Number 4! I hope you enjoyed those charts, and the comparison between the 4th and 11th March coming soon!
to Just Another Radio. Only rarely, will you find a new rap artists that are true to rap. iLL-iteracy are one of those artists. As often as the phrase is used today, iLL-iteracy are genuinely a fresh, distinctive group. You can download their album 'The Ensembly Line' from their website and also check out their 'iLL-it beatz' that have samples which are free to use.
Each member of iLL-iteracy have 'developed affinities for music early on in their lives' and this passion sets iLL-iteracy apart from other artists. Also, from reading their biography and listening to their music you can realise how strong each members relationships are and the amount of work that they put into their music as a group.
'After school, each of the members would gather around a computer, a base-model plastic computer microphone, and a technologically inferior recording program just for kicks. There was no mission in mind; no money-making scheme... There was just music.'
We truly appreciate the fact that they do not aim for money. When money becomes the sole purpose of doing something that requires heart, it won't work. iLL-iteracy do not follow other 'trends' because (anyone who uses Twitter will know) trends aren't permanent. Real music, however, is.
'The members of iLL-iteracy are Scott Dudley - "Chris Prythm", Kirk Dudley - "Speek Eazy", Corey English - "WiLL Spitwell", and George Trent - "Young Observe". Their sound is inspirational but far from ignorantly blissful and their musical arsenal ranges from upbeat anthems to thought provoking, more conscious selections.'
I believe that iLL-iteracy will get far, they've said themselves 'the motivation that pushes them harder and fuels the hunger that so many others lack'. They are aiming for what they deserve through their dedication and hard-work. We feel so privileged to support them and hope that us helping them now is just a first step for them to achieve as much as they can.
Listen out for some of their tracks on Just Another Radio and support them!
That's this weeks charts for y'all! As always, I hope you enjoyed it and please email justanotherradio@gmail.com for you requests for next weeks charts!
So, after the Indie Week, Smash Mouth surprisingly grabbed the top spot. Its a fun song, and I hope it was nostalgic for you Shrek fans! Florence + The Machine has taken the number 1 spot this week and 'All Star' has dropped to number 5. 'Tongue Tied' is still strong in the Top 5. Also in the Top 5, are three new entries: 'Take Me Out', 'Smile Like You Mean It' and 'Little Talks'. Little Talks is likely to stay strong in the charts as it is a new, awesome song. Ben Howard has jumped back into the charts once again with his widely popular single 'The Wolves'.
Next week we will be linking our chart with Spotify, and seeing if that catches on! We've almost hit 130 average hours so we're pulling out all the stops to do so! Hope you enjoyed the charts - email us suggestions at justanotherradio@gmail.com or on Twitter @Radio_JAR!
We've recently added Deeper Upper to our radio and Up-and-Coming artists section. They are an indie band that are inconceivably awesome and bursting with creativity. Each song is an individual and it's really great that we can add them to our Up-and-Coming section.
Since originally starting in Lithuania, Deeper Upper are becoming rapidly know by people across the world, including us! In what they call 'sonic chaos' their original music ideas and inspiration really gives the band a unique sound that a listener can appreciate. In songs such as 'In the Sands of a Desert' the drums, guitar and synth effortlessly fit together however, unlike other rock/alternative songs, it's the creativity that shines through. The lyrics. The riffs. The sound effects. All these components generate the elegance in how the song is produced. We believe it all comes together in their music video (below).
Their successes range from being featured on many Indie blogs (notably "Itʻs All Indie") and they have been included in the Top 30 of an Indie Lithuanian website called www.music.lt (where they have been rated by the listeners)! We know that with more support and with more and more people spreading the word, Deeper Upper will be a name you will be hearing a lot in the future.
