    good concept for finding new upcoming bands that some of us haven't hear of yet...I do recognize some of them...

    "All your favorite artists were once unsigned." Simple and plain.

    The Next Big Sound believes that the current music industry model for finding new talent is obsolete and due for an upgrade. Their original approach is giving the power to `the people': They invite users to listen to new upcoming artist and vote for their chosen rising star. Perhaps we'll witness a whole new way of discovering the next Madonna? With Next Big Sound's impressive title and declared goal one would expect to find or at least be as close as possible to finding the Next Big Sound. I browsed through the different styles of music and did my best in identifying the next uprising artist. Sadly, I must admit that I couldn't find any. I appreciate the concept as well as NBS' first-rate execution of the site; their player is amazing. There is one downside however. Where I come from, Content is King and, in NBS' case, Music should be King. This site is in a dire need of better music in order to translate their concept into a music hub that actually has an impact. I might have been too picky about the site's featured artists... so give them a try, maybe you will find The Next Big Sound. Btw: this idea isn't that new. Similar sites that were featured on our Weekly Faves include Music Nation, SellaBand and TheSixtyOne. Writers note: After writing the above review, I discussed the site with my brother. Turns out we both hold the same view; NBS' construction is flawless. What we seem to disagree on is the quality of the site's featured artists. My brother reckons there is some kick-ass music in the site. What can I say? It's up to you to make that call.
