"Podcasting has enabled us to reach a rapidly growing audience that is thirsty for new music. Podcasters have a pioneering spirit that has long been missing from conventional radio. For the most part, radio is not open to playing new music from independent musicians," said William Cote, the band's guitarist and vocalist.
