Gimme Radio is proud to announce the next step in its quest to super serve fans of metal and extreme music: the Gimme Brigade. It’s a $4.99/month membership for metalheads who want more than just access to digital streams.

When fans sign up for the Brigade, they unlock The Vault which houses all of Gimme Radio’s past radio shows and will include all new radio shows. Today, that’s over 2,000 hours of the best metal programming in the world. The Vault includes recorded gems from a stellar cast of regular DJs such as Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth and Megadeth legend Dave Mustaine, guest DJ shows from metal heroes such as Mille Petrozza of Kreator and kick ass up-and-comers Khemmis, interviews with artists such as Scott Ian of Anthrax, Riley Gale of Powertrip, and much more. With The Vault, you can listen to shows offline so if you are on a plane, without WiFi, or in an area with no cell phone reception, you can still dive into Gimme Radio. The Vault is available on apps for iOS and Android in the US + Canada, with more territories coming soon.

Unlike every other digital music subscription, the Brigade is not just access to music. Instead, the Brigade is an extension of the Gimme community that rewards its members with ongoing value: a personalized Gimme patch with the member’s username and hometown chapter embroidered on it; an official Gimme Brigade t-shirt, 15% discount on all items in the Gimme Radio store; and other exclusive perks like giveaways, special offers, early access and much more.

As Tyler Lenane, CEO of Gimme Radio, remarks, “We believe that being a fan starts with the music, but that is just one piece of the experience. Being a metalhead is about belonging to a community that shares a love for metal. The Brigade represents everything Gimme Radio stands for and the Vault is the number one requested feature from our fans. If you’ve just become a listener, there are thousands of hours of great music, stories and commentary that you missed and that you can now go back and experience. That’s pretty awesome.”

Users can sign-up for 30 days free of the Brigade membership by visiting this link: found.ee/GimmeBrigade. With partners like Metal Injection, Relapse Records, Decibel Magazine, Metal Blade, Nuclear Blast and more, Gimme Radio delivers to metal fans a truly one-of-a-kind experience!

Founded by digital music veterans from Apple Music, Google Play, Beats Music and Rhapsody, Gimme Radio builds highly engaged communities for the passionate fan on a genre-by-genre basis. The company launched its first community in June of 2017: the world’s first 24/7 metal-focused service (also available for iOS and Android). Fans tune in to hear world class DJs playing metal they can’t hear anywhere else – for free. And Gimme Radio allows the fans and the DJs/artists to communicate directly with one another in a live feed, real time, as the music is being played. Its roster of +50 DJs include Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Jessica Pimentel (star of Orange is the New Black), and Randy Blythe of Lamb of God (among others). Gimme Radio is a Techstars backed company.
