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 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. 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 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".
