Music: Indie Punk Rock

Indie Punk Rock Podcast, a free service, has been launched with the goal of making it easier to find new independent punk.

“Podcasting is very significant for independent music," says DJ Indie of Indie Punk Rock Podcast. "It has fueled the rise of amateur DJs - like myself - who are helping consumers and media discover music that they might never otherwise have heard of. Podcasting also addresses a new generation of youth - 'Generation i' - who don't own radios or CD players, but who own computers and iPods. For this new generation, podcasting is what FM radio has been to past generations."

Listeners can play the podcast on the website or have new podcast episodes automatically delivered to their computer when they are posted to the site, according to a press release. <http://myspace.com/IndiePunkRockPodcast>
