I came across them shilling for themselves in the comments on this

Just overall, what is wrong with a band trying to promote themselves in any way they can?

If you're going to promote yourself find a way to promote yourself so you don't come across like a total bellend. No one has ever been impressed by those ridiculous bios bands put up on their website.

Here's the bio for a staff-writer on the bloody New Yorker -

Amy Davidson is a senior editor at The New Yorker. She has been at the magazine since 1995, writes the Close Read blog for its website, and has contributed to its pages. Davidson grew up in New York City and graduated from Harvard. Before joining The New Yorker she lived and worked in Germany.

Bands should follow that model imho



At the end of the day though the marketing by these lads worked, I gave them a listen.

its annoying. Like those twitter follows you get from bands wanting you to follow them back. I can't imagine many do or that they get many new fans that way.

The ones where a member of the band pretends to be a fan are the best " Hey have you heard this great new band?" " I saw these guys last night and they rocked" etc
