Noisey.com Launches Today – Discover New Music

Written by Alan Saturday, 19 March 2011 03:14

Although you may not have heard of it, as there has been little fanfare, today marks the launch of a brand new music website called Noisey.  It is “a new music discovery platform that profiles some of the most talented new bands and local music scenes from around the world.”  The debut was made official yesterday at SXSW with a live show that featured Bun B, Ariel Pink, Yuck, JEFF The Brotherhood, Oberhofer and Dirty Beaches.

They plan to add new content to the website on a daily basis.  There are 38 artists on the site as of today’s debut.  You can scroll across all of those acts on the main page.  You can also sort music by Most Recent or Most Popular or view live shows by location, which include The USA, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and many other places.

They also feature episodes which introduce viewer to new bands.

Each episode includes five segments, including a short documentary introducing viewers to the band and the local music scene, then four segments of uninterrupted performances. Launch episodes feature The Vaccines (UK), Das Racist (US), Pictureplane (US), Austin TV (MX), Duddi Wallace (ESP), Hotel Mexico (JP), Frittenbude (DE), The Shoes (FR), Bewitched Hands (FR), 24 Hours (CN), Criolo (BR), My Disco (AU), and No Joy (CA), among others.

If you’re a music fan, and enjoy being the person who discovers the latest up and coming artists before all of your friends, then this is a cool new resource.  With the backing of Dell and Intel the site may have a very bright future.
