XM Liquid Metal Radio Wants You

I got this message from XM Liquid Metal today (edited for content):

XM Liquid Metal wants More Sic Metal bands--we dont care if you're signed or not, if you're Heavy Metal, Sic, and Well Produced-send me an email--let's give Americas' Metal Scene the exposure it deserves, and its fans what they want.
