ECHOBOOST.COM DEBUTS;
SOCIAL MUSIC SITE INSPIRED BY \'AMERICAN IDOL\' AND YOUTUBE


This week marks the launch of Echoboost.com, a social music network that helps
people discover music made by unsigned musicians in their own communities and across
the country. Formerly RadioFire.net, Echoboost.com premieres with over 6,000
registered artists and 12,000 songs.

Offering a new alternative for fans of online radio, Echoboost\'s custom music player
encourages listeners to Boost the songs they enjoy and Drop the songs they don\'t.
Songs that receive the most Boosts will continue to be played at random on the Music
Player according to genre and location, while Dropped songs will make way for new
tracks. In addition to assisting musicians build their local fan bases, songs
receiving the most Boosts will be featured on regional and national Echoboost play
lists.

\"When \'American Idol\' meets YouTube, you get Echoboost, a social network for
user-generated music,\" explains founder and president Matt Henage. \"People get
pretty passionate about the things they like and dislike, so this is our way of
letting the listeners take the reigns and rally behind the songs and artists they
enjoy the most.\"

With a focus on community, Echoboost encourages people to network with others who
share similar tastes via profile pages, user comments, lists of favorite bands,
genres, locations and song tags.

Henage started to work on the site in February 2005 as a solution for friends in
local bands who had trouble gaining exposure for their music. \"I knew a lot of
musicians that were creating good, quality music, but they were all having the same
difficult time finding people to share it with. It was a desire to help them be
heard that led me to create Echoboost, a place where people can hear something new
from bands in their own neighborhood and throughout the United States.\"

No longer a one-man-show, Henage is joined at Echoboost by a staff eager to spread
the best of unsigned music. Among these team members is music industry veteran
Lathum Nelson, who\'ll be using his experience of working with artists like Ozzy
Osbourne, Tom Petty and Depeche Mode to promote the site.
