The Unfortunate Incident are new music artists from England.  They combine rock, country, folk and punk into their own individual sound and have been quite turning heads their direction. This group of new music artists has performed all around England and has gained a reputation as an engaging live act. They are getting airplay on many radio stations and are a new addition to our broadcast. Their latest album is available now and you can find out how to get it as well as more information on this group of new music artists at their MySpace page; 

        

 

Some of the better known radio stations on the Internet charge artists for airplay. That is to say, by paying a fee or buying a certain number of plays, you are guaranteed airplay.

Excuse me, but what is this all about except business as usual? And just how does this serve the listening public who is looking to find ‘my music,’ on the Internet? It does not. It is, once again, the old business model of the notion of popularity being spoon fed to the public via force of hype. Do these stations that charge for plays really care? Only about the money.

Rest assured that, whatever is found on this broadcast, is there for one reason and one reason alone; it has been hand-picked by this DJ who feels that it is good music and, as such, belongs on this radio station.

again, it is the time for knowledgeable critics to make their voices heard as to what constitutes great music or not.
