Echoboost - Online Radio Station


This is a cool site that seems to focus on content, in this case bands located within your geographic area. This is a plus for fans looking for cool local music, and it allows us artist to connect with our hometown fan base. The built in player allows you to comment on the song, tag it, and interact a few other ways. A lot social music sites out their now, but this one seems to have a distinction that separates it from the rest.

"Echoboost is a premiere social music network that allows people to listen to free music from local unsigned artists and bands using a free music player. The free music player streams songs from unsigned artists and bands from every genre, including sounds that range from rock, indie, emo and alternative to hip hop, rap, jazz and country.

Unlike online radio, Echoboost's free music player encourages listeners to Boost the songs they enjoy and Drop the songs they don't. Songs that receive the most Boosts will continue to be played at random on the Music Player according to genre and location, while Dropped songs will make way for new songs. In addition to assisting musicians build their local fan bases, songs receiving the most Boosts will be featured on regional and national Echoboost play lists."
