Band Success credited to Social Media Presence

The recently formed band BATTLECROSS(BX) has boomed in popularity over the past couple years in the US metal scene and even in some international locations as well. They now have played in a couple different festivals such as The Rockstar energy drink Mayhem Festival in the US, Rock am Ring, New England Metalfest, and the GwarBque. Many people credit their success to their social media presence through facebook and twitter. Frequently posting and interacting with their fans through these medias really gives bands a connection to their fans in ways that were not possible before. It almost allows for direct communication in which BX is a very active commenter on posts on their page. They even managed to crowdfund half the cost of the Mayhem Festival tour, raising over $25,000 in a months time. Keeping this in mind might give you an advantage if you were looking to start a group of your own.
