Man, these guys are really awesome. The first episode is really high quality. I'm digging some of those other bands as well. Definitely one to keep my eye on as I've never heard of these guys before.

Thanks. We are still pretty new, which is why you haven't heard of us before. As for your comment that you like some of the bands, that is great. We are being very specific in who we feature on the show.

This looks like a very cool way to find good new music. They filter to make sure you only see "good" bands. That's pretty cool.

Band ftw. It seems like it would be a lot easier to just watch this show rather than troll GaySpace. You can only find one band an episode, so there is that, but overall much better. Entertaining too.

I suppose I use MySpace differently than some. When I hear about a band I do a Google search and their MySpace page is usually near the top. I use MySpace to listen to a few tracks to get a feel for them. I never use MySpace to find new music. For that I use a variety of sources including Oh My Rockness (highly recommended if you are in Chicago, LA or NYC).

Yes, something is afoot. On HN, "it kicks!" definitely does not get 3 points.

What's worse: their taste in music is TERRIBLE.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion for sure. I think their taste is >>AWESOMEIt's about making them known to the world and everyone has different taste.
