Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
The Preamp.fm web platform splits music into city and not genre. This concept is geared towards exposing individuals to other types of music. By showing a user what’s out there in the music world other than what they usually gravitate towards, people become exposed to many other genres. Although the creators behind this online web application are still in the process of adding more cities and creating more partnerships, Preamp.fm looks like a cool way to explore the music scene wherever you live, work, or go to school.
Select your city, press play, and Preamp.fm will assemble a video playlist of live music events and you can hear what a band sounds like if you were to attend a concert. Click the calendar icon to see other upcoming concerts and locations. Once a user finds a band she enjoys, a link in the left hand corner directs her to a ticket purchase website. Preamp.fm gives its users the ability to not only discover music, but also to do something about it. Grab a friend or family member, explore the website, and maybe you’ll discover your new favorite band!
