About Us:
The Swipes, hailing from
Frankfurt/Main, are known for their
individual yet catchy sound. The
four-piece has developed an - as the
press says - electrifying sort of
sixties-influenced rock, rounded off
with a pinch of indie-punk and ska.
They consider this blend as a German
answer to the garage rock revival of
the 2000's, a style belonging to the
sphere of bands like The Hives, The
Strokes, The (International) Noise
Conspiracy and co.
In April 2010 The Swipes became
co-winners of an online contest run by
Bruce Springsteen's guitarist Steven
Van Zandt and were presented on ESPN's
NASCAR motorsports TV program.
Moreover the quartet is frequently
getting airplay and being interviewed
by public service radio stations and
commercial broadcasters with a high
coverage - plus by countless city-,
college- and web radios.
TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main station,
it has stations for each
of the states
individually, 52
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, through,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.

From a Bush Abomination
