[QUOTE="ArrowHeadNLI:1224629"][QUOTE="arkquimanthorn:1224627"]Look at bands or musicians like Merrow, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, Tesseract, etc... who have been very successful through these means. Many of those bands were releasing material and gaining a huge following before they ever played a show as a band. [/QUOTE] these are unique, world-class bands, which helps a lot. they can generate hype by playing a few shows and having one solid release. people with good ears can tell right away and will immediately tell their friends. if you don't stand out in this way, you can promote all you want, and people won't care. and, they will tell your friends that you suck.[/QUOTE] Overall I agree. However, Tesseract was a one man basement recording project. Acle had a huge following long before forming a band, or putting out a single album. Same with Merrow. He's never played a show at all, and yet his new album features people like Jeff Loomis, has paid his way through college, and now he is working with members of Lamb of God and Between the Buried and Me. So yes, you DO need to be GOOD to get that kind of attention, however you need to be GOOD to get results through any means of promotion. Gigging, radio, facebook, if you suck you won't get far. (unless you've got a TON of friends. [scarecrow hill])[/QUOTE]
