I recently was directed to a site that’s got a really interesting proposition.
Storm the Charts are sick of those campaigns for old songs to get to number one that shot up in popularity since the Rage against the Machine christmas number 1 palava in 2009. They propose that it should be new music that hits the charts, from unsigned bands.
40 bands will be shortlisted and they’re going to attempt to get as many of them in the charts as they can in the same week.
There’s already a huge amount of support from it – and it’s the glastonbury organisers that are putting it together so it’s really good promotion!
All you have to do is listen to 5 songs and pick your favourite to choose the band for the top 40 at the moment. It’ll get *really* interesting when that top 40 is chosen and the whole thing begins!
So check it out and listen to some potential chart toppers before everyone else!

But what causes us to be so obsessed with big beats? So seduced by some sweet syncopation? Quite simply – why do we got rhythm?
Have you ever seen someone wearing a painfully coloured T-shirt and thought to yourself; “Man, that’s a loud shade of green!”?
Well, if that person suffers from synaesthesia, they might be thinking “Man, that’s a green shade of loud!”
Synaesthesia is when stimulation of one sense involuntarily stimulates another sense. In this article I’ll be talking about musical synaesthesia – when hearing music can make you see colours.
Here at BoyinaBand it’s not all about making music – sometimes it’s about expressing how you feel about it.
People express their opinion in different forms. I’d say about 90% in the form of insulting YouTube comments, but a more creative expression is in the form of dance.
It’s always fascinated me to see what styles of dance people have created to go with which styles of music – so here’s the top 10 dance styles ever for electronic music along with their respective genres and some sweet videos to show off the best they have to offer…
