guys ive been noticing a bunch of bands coming out that are releasing there music to download free (and legally) the main one ive noticed is machinae supremacy. personaly i think its pretty cool that bands would do this what are your thoughts. machinae supremacy ^^linky^^
It is good that their releasing their songs for download, but hey, they too need $ for thier effort in making their song, so I don't think all of it will be free, only a few of it from their album.
less popular bands have to do someting to get in the spotlight, nice way to become more famous. But i think it won't take long, once they are more famous they want to make money like other bands.
well there are a lot of bands that do this. if you all search google for Roadrunner records (its a lable) you will get there main web site. From there you go to music and chose your artist. This lable have band such as: Slipknot, Ill nino, Trivium, Cradle os filth, Nickleback, Theory of a deadman.....
that good they do that but i don';t think all will be free cuz they will need some cash sooner or later
They'll make more in the end result, if they play their cards right - people will see the few songs legal for download, buy the rest of the album, and those dudes cash in. It's a good marketing play for them. ^_^
omg, a newb actually posted a good and relevant post But yeah, I think it could do well for the bands. Just as long as they only let a few tracks up for grabs.
its good for newcomers. im sure lots of other bands got there star hit using this method. plus i am open to most music so i enjoy it when bands promote themselves this way.
