Today is a good one for metal heads, as a brand new metal radio service known as Gimme Radio, has launched to headbangers around the world, and it's completely free! Whether you're sick of computer generated playlisting, live in an area that doesn't have a metal radio station, or don't have the money to shell out for satellite radio, Gimme Radio strives to be your one stop shop for metal radio, anywhere, at any time.
The service is set up to provide 24/7 programming curated by DJ's, a "Gimme Live" feature which allows fans to connect and discuss metal topics with anyone on the service, a pop-up feature which provides current news of the artist being played, as well as a quick link to purchase vinyl from the artists on air. That's a pretty killer, all inclusive package, for a radio service!
The curator list providing the programming is still growing, but already includes some awesome names like Ben Weinman from The Dillinger Escape Plan, Randy Blythe from Lamb of God, Dave Catching from Eagles of Death Metal, Decibel Magazine, Nuclear Blast, Metal Blade Records, and even Metal Injection can be found on the service!
Gimme Radio is completely free, so give it a try here, you might even find your next favorite band!
