Garageband.com, the web's largest community of independent musicians, announced several new services delivering on the company's mission of empowering independent musicians to build an audience and get discovered.

Radio Airplay on College and Web Stations
Garageband spent last summer building a growing network of radio partnerships. Dozens of radio stations recognize Garageband as the best source for new songs by emerging artists and have agreed to add Garageband songs to their playlists. Garageband offers each station a private feed of songs to fit the station's criteria based on Garageband's massive database of listener ratings.

Direct Feedback from Industry Professionals
Garageband has launched an expert review system which allows musicians to submit songs for review by an industry professional for a fee. This gives artists a unique opportunity to get detailed feedback from industry insiders, plus the elusive chance of "getting discovered." Garageband's first expert, from Warner A&R, charges $49.95 per song. The company plans to add more experts over time.

Gig Promotion via Web and Email
Garageband boasts the most comprehensive calendar of gigs and concerts by independent musicians. When bands list a gig on Garageband, it appears not only on the web site, but also in email newsletters targeted to users within a 25-mile radius. For a fee, Garageband will feature the gig "In the Spotlight," which means a bigger listing promoted to a wider radius.

Heralded as one of TIME Magazine's "50 Best Websites of 2003," Garageband boasts a roster of over 75,000 bands and has sustained almost 50% annual membership growth for three years in a row.
