SUPPORTING UNSIGNED MUSIC AND GOING SOLO ON SONIC BANDWAGON

#UndergroundMusicUncovered

Fantastic mix of styles in the playlist including Prog, Alt-Rock, Retro 70's Blues Rock, Indie, Black Metal, Doom and even a Canadian country murder ballad.  

We're also supporting the campaign by our good friend and colleague at Pure, Chris Ridgway and his Supernova show to 'Get a unsigned band into the charts' as an alternative to the usual manufactured dross which permeates the music scene at this time of year.  

Go grab yourself a copy of The Mantells track 'Men in Suits' now and support unsigned music. You can also watch the campaign trailer here http://vimeo.com/110585995
