wearehunted.com It's like a radio station of lots of new and exciting music, culled from around the web. #ep12

Pros

It’s another site that gets good design, which automatically makes us want to look at it. Essentially the concept is this: it searches the web for the most blogged (or tweeted) about tracks and puts them in its top 99.

The layout is simple and smooth with eleven 3x3 grids that you can scroll through easily and select any track to play. And you get to listen to all this great stuff for free in any order without any adverts. Not quite sure how they’re doing it but it’s ace.

There’s also a page on each artist you can read up on and find further links. I use it as a radio station for discovering new music in much the same way as last fm but stripped back and way less hassle.

Cons

It doesn’t quite work in that it calls this emerging music but there are a fair few tracks on there I can tell you aren’t new at all. Still, they are good.

And yes it is another streaming site which to be fair it isn’t doing anything that other sites aren’t doing already. I guess it just seduced me with its looks and nicely cropped images.
