Getting your band known. The Music Glue method.



I was just browsing the Freebies on Gumtree and came across a free ep download offer from a band I like, The Federals . Turns out they use Music Glue which immediately made me think of debbym's Mother's Pride post a while ago about her son's band.

This looks worth a careful looksee for marketing :
