The Launch of Indie Rock Songs - Beta 1.0

Hey Indie and Alternative Rock Fans!

You've Got the Right Place for best new indie rock...

Welcome to the official beat 1.0 launch of IRS - Indie Rock Songs.com - your one-stop indie rock station and shop for the best alternative rock, pop, hiphop songs, MP3s, CDs, albums, concert and music videos, indie rock fashion from the best and coolest designers and much more.

There is still work to do to get this site to the point that it completely fulfills my vision of a comprehensive, cool, fun, interactive and dynamic website to feature the best and greatest songs of modern and classic indie artists, groups and bands.

It's my dream to set-up a 24/7 indie rock station for everyone because I have spent five years creating the ultimate indie and alternative rock play lists that are now ready to be shared with the world. Trust me, family and friends into indie and alternative love my play lists.

Here's the catch. Nowadays, it is expensive to get a license to run a 24/7 radio station because the Federal Communications and Trade Commission has been invoking standards and laws set by Congress in as far as the price to license a 24/7 station. My favorite service to go with this in that regard is Live365.com.

If you'd like to help me get the money for the license (PayPal sunmoonrain@gmail.com), I will be gladly appreciative and everyone that donates will be provided a copy of the official license purchase and will be the first premium members of the Indie Rock Songs website.

There are even more plans. Not only will there be lots of free MP3s, but there will be links to the best MP3 websites offering the best deals on legit, unlocked, non-DRM MP3s.

There will also be all kinds of music charts from the Billboard Alternative Rock charts to music charts from various indie rock magazines and websites.

Also, IRS will become a voting website where you and your friends will listen to, download, share and vote on the best songs.

Many music websites really do not give much space to indie and alternative rock, even though it is now one of the fastest growing popular genres in the modern music scene thanks to artists and groups like Fallout Boy, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, Belle and Sebastian, TV on the Radio, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, The Killers, Spoon, AFI, Camera Obscura, My Chemical Romance, Bright Eyes, The Starting Line, Tom Waits and many, many others.

To get you started, here are some great places to get MP3s from your favorite musicians:

- Emusic.com - my favorite b/c MP3s are quality/inexpensive/unlocked/non-DRM

- MP3.com

More MP3s, EPs, live recordings, albums, CDs, hit makers and new great indie rockers from every part of the globe - last updated on June 17, 2007
