So Facebook get a bit more geared up for bands and artists with the help of Root Music. Root Music have created a platform to add all relevant info for bands to promote themselves… So gigs, music, via a soundcloud plugin, bio, photos, videos, via vimeo or Facebook… everything a budding fan would be interested in…

Now with the supposed demise of MySpace as the place to promote your music as an emerging artist, or lets be honest, any artist, will this become the ‘emperors new clothing’ as the place to promote your musical wares…?

Its quite an easy package to use and it’s free unless you want to add a nice banner at the top, change background colours and fonts then its a $19.99 yearly subscription…

I sent one up in about 10 minutes for a personal project. This is for a series of music based events but does the job…

I like the fact they have combined tried and tested platforms for hosting and displaying content such as Vimeo and Soundcloud a real ’stand on the shoulders of giants’ approach…

Anyway, we suggest you get out and try it and let us know what you think…
