500,000 Reasons Why Online Music Coverage Just Got Better

LONDON, September 9/PRNewswire/ -- ClashMusicGroup is set to massively expand its online provision of music news, reviews, features, audio visual applications and downloads following a GBP500,000 cash injection. The group's digital platform, http://www.clashmusic.com, will also cover more festivals, gigs, and events as it seeks to build on the explosive growth it has enjoyed since being launched in January 2008.

More interactive and social community features will be generated as Clash adds 18 new posts to its operations in order to resource the expansion of online channels that already attract 70,000 unique users each month.

The expansion has been helped by a GBP230,000 Investment Grant from the Scottish Government. Clash will deploy the balance as part of a long-term strategy to develop what is already one of the UK's busiest music websites.

Clash is best known for its award-winning publication Clash Magazine, now the UK's leading independent music magazine and already voted 'Best Music Magazine of the Year'.

The Clash brand is augmented by the rising popularity of ClashMusic.com, which has attracted marketing campaigns from leading music labels such as Universal, SonyBMG, EMI, Warners, and creatives including iTunes, Live Nation, Diesel, Ben Sherman, Red Stripe, Tuborg, Firetrap, Converse, Oakley, Beck's, O2 Wireless, Zavvi, Levi's and many other international brands and events.

ClashMusic.com has formed media partnerships with iTunes, MySpace and leading international festivals including SXSW, Benicassim, Sonar, Lovebox, Rockness, Iceland Airwaves and many other boutique events worldwide.

John O'Rourke, Clash Managing Director, expressed his delight at the GBP230,000 grant, saying, "We now have the opportunity to develop the platform with more applications that will captivate our unique community of music tastemakers and help realise our global aspirations.

"Clash will continue to concentrate on quality in both our content and delivery, streaming many exclusives and adding new channels, all of which shall see the level of growth continue."
