South America: We need your help!

We at Future Perfect Radio pull in listeners from all over the world: Europe, Russia, Australia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, not to mention the United States. We even got a hit from Antarctica once (penguins be rocking y'all).

But the most active and loyal listeners always come out of South America. Brazil, Chile, Argentina...you guys are the best when it comes to listening to Future Perfect Radio. That's why we're creating a South American indie channel!

But we can't do it alone. We need your help. You all will be the ones listening to this new channel, so it's only right you have a hand in its creation.

What bands and artists should we add? Tell us in the comment section and we'll be sure to add your suggestion to the channel!
