		>>News FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE "Afterglow" Music Podcast To Highlight Independent Artists BRISBANE, Australia - August 30, 2005 - In a call out to dark alternative music fans and artists, independent record label, Extrinia, today launched the "Afterglow" podcast at http://extrinia.com/afterglow Afterglow will bring the best in music inspired by darker themes - romantic and otherwise - from new and emerging artists from around the world, as well as newly independent but established stalwarts of the genre. For fans who grew up listening to bands such as Joy Division, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Depeche Mode (and for those who've discovered they’ve held a long fascination with black eyeliner), Afterglow is set to re-awaken your faith in music. Afterglow will explore new dominions that are being created in the heart of the underground, covering electronica/EBM, industrial, dark pop/rock, dark ambient, power noise, and more. The show features "podsafe" music, where independent artists who own their copyrights give their permission to use their original songs in the show. "We've had a tremendous reaction from the artist community, and we'd love to hear from more artists in the genre", explained Afterglow presenter and Extrinia founder, John P Shea. "Fans can also request tracks using the request form on the site, and playlists include artist contact details so they can purchase material directly". The show is delivered as a free podcast in high quality MP3 format, and can be listened to using a podcast receiver such as iTunes® http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) (Mac®/Windows®). Fans can also bid for a show dedication to be written especially for them, with all proceeds being donated to human rights organisation Amnesty International.
