A Music Fan Site With A Difference

By Ged Brockie

There is no greater achievement than finding a group that you know will be successful in the future for a genuine fan in the indie rock music. This feeling is generated from having enough knowledge of the music industry to identify what a band needs in order to succeed in this highly competitive market. When an unknown band that you support finds success in a large scale atmosphere you build a sense of unity with the band for having known it at such an early stage. Conscious of the fans that support them at such an early phase, this construction of fandom represents the crucial form of band support and can often lead to acknowledgment from the band itself.

Many indie rock music fans have had limited opportunities in finding this level of fandom due to the demands related to it such as found in following a band around or following the online fad of musical groups in communication outlets such as MySpace or Facebook. These venues are limited in their exposure and often make it difficult for real fans of indie rock music to find the new music that will relate to them.

To discover the best new indie bands at the beginning of their growth opportunities look toward the internet and the sites dedicated to these bands. Here the fans of indie rock music can look worldwide at the newest introductions on the rock circuit. With these online sites a fan can listen to free music and make decisions on the latest indie rock music through voting in their online competitions.

Fans have the chance to see the performances of new and old indie rock music bands in addition to having the ability to listen and judge new and old indie rock music. In the world wide environment of the internet fans have the chance to preview new indie bands from across the globe, expanding their opportunities in finding and supporting the best. The chance to see a band perform online removes the restrictions of borders and allows every fan the opportunity to see their new favorite bands in person. A fan also has the chance to see the future gigs of these new indie bands by learning when the band will have future gigs in their area.

How a band is impacted by individuals outside of the group is often defined by as a fan base. For a large successful band this is most commonly displayed through record sales and sold out concerts as they cater to the fan masses. For the smaller band every fan is an individual and support is generated through supporting the band online and occasionally buying their goods through music downloads and clothing sales. These sites often recognize the importance of the small band indie rock music fan and supports them in their efforts to support the music. For the very active fans of this genre of music these sites like to recognize site contributers by recognizing them in the TOP 10 FANS web board. Earning points through voting and earning points with the band products you purchase are only a few ways you can earn rewards and make it to the top ten.
