Put two scousers, a manc, and a guy from Hong Kong in one room, tell them to create music, and what do you get? You get the innovative, trail-blazing band that is Crimson Rise.

Inspired by legends such as Led Zeppelin, The Stone Roses and The Charlatans, Crimson Rise have created a sound all their own - that defies logic. In fact, it defies any and every musical genre you can throw at them. They are truly a result of their diverse background, musically and culturally. Over the past four years, Crimson Rise, through incessant live shows all over the UK and and insatiable musical drive, have carved out a niche all of their own.

From their demo CD titled Control:

1. Electric Wildebeest
2. Violet
3. Shake It
4. Impossible
5. Do What You Please

Everyone who has shown an interest in unsigned internet radio will have come across Tapp Out Radio at some point in time. At its peak Tapp Out Radio was considered one of the premier unsigned radio stations in the world before it’s life was sadly cut short due to a combination of hacking attempts from jealous rival stations, who could not compete, and an unscrupulous domain registrar who sold the domain from underneath us.

Now that the jealous stations have long since departed it is now time for us to emerge once more. We have looked at our domain being stolen as a possitive thing now we get to change the name of the station to something more relevant.

We came up with the name Future Music Radio. We felt that this was a better name as it much more clearly explained what we are trying to do, a radio station playing the music of the future.

The official start date is not known yet as we have a lot of work to do but we will be using this blog to keep you all updated so please make sure that you bookmark this page an return often.

Our very own Ben Arthur made Sparkle Promotions history today! In the company of The Who, Rod Stewart and Jackson Browne, Ben Arthur found himself included on BBC Shropshire (96FM) playlist with the amazing song “Tattoo” from his new album “MouthFeel”.

Head on over to BBC Shropshire’s site and let the DJ know that Ben Arthur should be included far more often in the playlists!
