Review:

Simplicity is nice. Lately in web design (especially with the contagious outbreak of "web2.0") many websites just seem to be overdone. Mostly with graphics...little on content (will this dilemma ever end?).

Then I'm greeted with this simple site a little radio website. Maybe I'm a bit biased due to my insane love of music. But I rather enjoyed my time at this website. The design is very breathable(as in no clutter or shiny buttons) and the the one page layout albeit not a new technique but one that isn't seen to often.

Another aspect that really caught my attention was the colors. I'm a stickler for color and even though this is a one page design the changing of colors for each section gives the illusion that you have just visited a new page within the site. With a nice scrolling action for the navigation. The site is a breeze to get around.

My only real beef with the site is the redundant use of the "Back to top" link. Having it below the content is great but is there a need for it in the nav?

If you are looking for some indie music (come on how much Fergie can you take?) and a easy on the eye design then I suggest swinging by Nonstep Radio.
