#1 Entry from Jadielady

Jadielady started spreading the word by reviewing www.nzbeats.com on her site. Here is a snip-it of what she had to say:

‘…the sound quality of the songs is awesome!! A lot of podcasts I listen to the sound quality of the music isn’t all that great. Also the music rocks!…’

Check out her full review here.

#2 Entry from Phil aka ‘BlueGumTech’

Phil aka ‘BlueGumTech’ spread the word by writing a wonderful post on his blog. It really is amazingly descriptive. The following is a taste of what Phil had to say:

‘…He shares with you how radio has let listeners down by playing low quality music and has ignored true raw talent that can be found locally….’

Check out the full post here.

Support New Zealand Music

All the music found in this podcast is performed by New Zealand Artists.
These guys are great musicians but they aren't rich. They need your support
to continue to make their music. I try my best to link to sites where you
can buy their music, so do the right thing and buy the song if you like it.

Play for an New Zealand indie/garage band and want to get your music out to an
international audience. Feel free to send me a track in mp3 format to nzbeats@gmail.com.
I guarantee I will play all indie NZ beats sent to me.

As long as it isn't complete crap.
