Remember the good old days before the invention of the Tubular Interwebs, and there was no such thing as a FAQ? No, neither do we, so here’s another tedious list of questions you probably wouldn’t have asked, and a load of answers that you didn’t need to hear.

1) Why do I want to hear A New Band A Day?

For lots of reasons! The Information SuperHighway (© 1995) is great because it makes it really easy for loads of new bands to get themselves heard. The bad news is also that it is really easy for loads of new bands to get themselves heard. What we’re trying to say is that you have to sift through tons of excruciating Nickelback wannabes before you hear a good band. We try to do some of the listening to awful bands for you, and give you the good ones. So A New Band A Day means you can hear exactly that, with less chance of hearing some awful Nu-Grime/Jazz/Human Beatbox nonsense.

2) Where do you find the bands whose music you play?

Well, Myspazz is a good place to start, as you have already found out, probably. But really, we snuffle all over the internets, following the smell of good tunes like an idiot bloodhound. Whilst listening to lots of new stuff does inevitably mean listening to a lot of excruciating C*ldplay, K*llers and L*bertines-wannabes, the joy of finding a diamond in the turd-pile, so to speak, makes it worthwhile. Also, if someone tells us, “Listen to this band! They’re ace!,” we usually listen to it to see if it is ace.

3) Listen to this band! They’re ace!

Great! Tell us about them and we’d love to have a listen. Contact us in the usual way.

4) Who makes the rudimentary images at the top of the blog?

We do, because if we didn’t have something else to distract us we’d mope around wishing we were in The Smiths circa 1986.

5) You said you’d put a new radio show up every week, but it’s been, like, 9 days and there isn’t anything new! What’s the beef, chief?

There’s no beef, you young scamp. We just think that there’s not that much merit in consistancy, so sometimes the show might not be out on time. Also, sometimes we have a ‘lost weekend’ like John Lennon did, except ours don’t last 18 months.

6) Why don’t you play The Kook’s new single?

For a whole plethora of reasons, but the main ones are: Radio One pretty much covers that remit already; secondly, we can’t because of tedious copyright reasons; and finally, we don’t like the Kooks, and especially don’t like their hair, their clothes and their stage-school background. Which is reason enough in our books.

7) Wait a minute! It’s called A New Band EVERY Day, but you don’t blog about a new band literally every day! Liar!

Zen out, dude. Don’t be totally grody. You may have noticed that we only blog about new bands five days every week. But this is so we can search for bands on the other two days! And anyway, www.anewbandforfivedaysaweekandsearchforbandsontheothertwo.com is really difficult to type in your browser (try it). Also, sometimes we forget to post if we've been ill or busy or something like that. But we'll always make up for it, possibly with flowers and chocolates and promises 'that we'll change, honestly'.

8) What are you listening to right now?

The Blue Album by Orbital.

9 ) Where is A.N.B.A.D. based?

For now: Manchester, Great Britain. But don’t try to find us.
