Radiorockcafe.com is NOT a music download website. Recording, copying or ripping of the music played on this radio station IS ILLEGAL.
We have a UNIQUE special request system. Unique because it’s NOT an email system where you have to wait for someone to take the request, it is all automated EVEN when there are no hosts LIVE on air, therefore once your music is included in our library, your friends, fans will be able to request and hear their selection after a few minutes (obviously depending on the amount of requests already loaded). Also, This is NOT a VOTE system, where people need to VOTE to get your song on the airwaves. As mentioned previously, as soon as your music is in our library, it becomes available for your fans to request and hear.
We broadcast a wide variety of LIVE and Syndicated shows amongst these shows .. I’m the host of one of them called INDIE TIME, it is an ambitious project in a very little mediatized crenel . It consists in getting the indie groups from the rock scene known. Every Sunday, RadioRockCafe will give approximately 2 hours of excellent indie music. The music of these groups will be on air 24/7 and it will also be part of the special request play list. We also do interviews over SKYPE(http://www.skype.com) with bands when we do full album presentations.
That is not all, EVERY half hour on our station (top and bottom of the hour) our broadcasting system takes 2 songs at random(but based on some rules to give EVERY BAND the same exposure) from the Indie listing and we broadcast them on air giving the Indies even MORE exposure.
Furthermore, we offer you the possibility to record jingles for the station .. For example : “I’m BeN from and you’re listening to Radiorockcafe.com!” .. As simple as this may seem, ALOT of our listeners LOVE the jingles already submitted and played on our airwaves thus giving THE BANDS that did those jingles even MORE exposure. If you would like to submit a jingle for our station, feel free do to so, please try and remain under the 30 second mark for these jingles an try to be original we have no specific guidelines for these jingles, as long as you name yourself and/or the band name and say at the end “You’re/We’re Listening to Radiorockcafe.com”
We recently had the chance and pleasure to work with many bands either by doing shows with them, participating in events or just plainly having them on the website’s chat to talk with our listeners. A special thanks goes out to ALL of them for their kindness, precious collaboration and generosity ! ! !
