MUMBAI:Music website NME.com has struck a deal with digital media giant iTunes to offer music fans worldwide unique NME video footage, available to download free.
The deal sees iTunes house over 50 NME Video podcasts, featuring exclusive interviews with some of the greatest names in music carried out across this year`s festival season, including Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Kings of Leon, Muse, The Kooks, Dizzee Rascal, The Gossip and My Chemical Romance.
A new video channel on NME.COM will also be launched this week, making available all of NME Video`s exclusive interviews in one place for the first time on the site, starting with 100 videos.
NME editor, Conor McNicholas says “NME.COM is already famous for creating world-class video content and now we have a world-beating archive. Our new video services mean music fans will be able to mine a rich seam of interviews and more from all their favourite bands. And this is only the start.” Recent festivals have seen NME interviewing top acts including Metallica just moments before they go on stage; making the video footage available to view by the time the band starts playing. In 1999, three years after its launch, NME.COM hosted its first webcast with Suede live from Japan.
