Former Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe launched Apple’s Beats 1 radio station with a song from British indie band Spring King.
Lowe had previously played the track, “City,” on Radio 1 and said that the team kept coming back to the song. The move made the band very popular among talent scouts worldwide, and may of which have started a bidding war for their contract.
Here is a tweet from Spring Kid after the song aired on Beats 1:
yo @zanelowe are you kidding?!!?!? you just spun our tune! you're an absolute legend!!

The band is still unsigned and their manager Claire Southwick said that the band is in talks with a few different record labels. There are rumours that the band may have been close to signing a deal with a label before last night, however the band is probably getting a lot more offers after they aired on Beats 1.
