We're working on the feature to import Last.fm profiles, filter by genre, better listings, and improved artist pages. I guess it's always the case with start-ups that you bite off more than you can chew. In terms of browsing--the back button issue is my personal pet peeve, so we're at work on that right as well. I hope you'll continue to use our site and keep the helpful comments coming. Thanks for all your comments.

While the site is good, I think they could use a few more filters. After all, the ability to filter without hitting the back button is what makes this site (and Kayak) so very elegant. To start with, how about the ability to browse by genre, or some way to differentiate the headline acts from some of the smaller, niche acts such as the punk-metal gothic inspired underground bands (no disrespect of course). Either way, the Songkicker plugin is what sets this apart. Tough space to play, but at least they are innovating! I love Kayak and was immediately drawn to Songkick when you made the comparison.

It would be nice to have a preview on the band on their artist page, http://www.songkick.com/artist/hell-is-for-heroes also if your moving between pages on the widget on the front page, come back your back to the first page again.
