"When Red Hot Chili Peppers release a new album, many radio stations refer to it as 'new music'. They were formed in 1983."
The station started off by playing 50,000 songs in a row - none more than 12 months old, mainly Indie Rock. Although songs were repeated and there were regular advertisements for the station itself. The station has plans to sell advertising[2].
Some representative bands featured on the station include The Arcade Fire, Fitz and the Tantrums, LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, Of Montreal and The Black Keys.
