Streaming music service like Spotify and Pandora are an excellent way to learn about new music groups or solo artists, but it's either put up with commercials or pay a monthly subscription. For anyone that loves to discover lesser-known bands and wants to do so for free without having to listen to commercials, there's an alternative to the majors called EarBits. Their approach is to spotlight independent artists from around the world that you aren't going to hear on the radio every 30 minutes. The apps and the website has tons of playlists or genres to choose from, so it's easy to find a bunch of new artists that fit your preferred type of music. I really love the Festival Guides they have because most of my best discoveries have been on smaller stages at big music festivals. Earbits makes it much easier to learn about all the great musicians that are working their way up the popularity ladder. Just search your app store for 'Earbits Music Discovery' or visit their web option at: https://earbits.com
