Echoboost.com, a social music network, announced its launch today. The site helps people discover music made by unsigned musicians in their own communities and across the country. Formerly RadioFire.net, Echoboost.com premieres with over 6,000 registered artists and 12,000 songs.

Offering a new alternative for fans of online radio, Echoboost’s custom music player encourages listeners to Boost the songs they enjoy and Drop the songs they don’t. Songs that receive the most Boosts will continue to be played at random on the Music Player according to genre and location, while Dropped songs will make way for new tracks. In addition to assisting musicians build their local fan bases, songs receiving the most Boosts will be featured on regional and national Echoboost play lists.
