ICBM doesn't believe in getting anything in return for getting the word out for artists we love. You'll never find advertisements on our blog and our main purpose is to spread the word about up and coming artists, whether on the verge of mainstream or not. We focus on Independent labels, although you'll find Majors as well. Our goal is to provide an easy way for our blog visitors to listen to music via streams. We provide downloads for most songs, but this is simply for sampling purposes. We never provide full LPs because we truly want our listeners to support the artists by purchasing their entire Singles, EPs, or LPs.
Our posts primarily consist of lengthy playlists and monthly concerts for Arizona. I don't know of any other site that's trying to promote Independent artists and their upcoming performances in Arizona (at least in our fashion). Our listeners can sample the music on our blog and if they like what they hear, they can support the artists by attending the shows (which is usually how they make their living). We provide the "Monthly Concerts" post showing all upcoming performances in a single post. This provides the listeners with an easy way to sample the entire month's concerts without fragmentation of many posts.
It Could Be Mainstream! can be interpreted in many ways, but the thought behind the blog is pretty simple - We don't listen to mainstream music for our posts, although the music we post may be mainstream... hence, It Could Be Mainstream! (or put otherwise, it may be mainstream).
This blog is meant to stimulate your music ear buds and open your mind to new music. If you like what you hear, please be considerate enough to support the artists and purchase their music. If you are the owner of a music file and would like it removed, please contact me at icbmainstream@yahoo.com and I will remove it ASAP. Enjoy!
