Roadrunner records have launched their http://signmeto.roadrunnerrecords.com/ website, a band networking *slash* popularity contest. I guess the idea is to get regular punters and people in bands to make profiles and anyone else registered to the site can vote or like or something their favourite local bands.
It's yet to be proven what the outcome to all this will be, whether opening the doors to everyone to their website remind users that RR are a record company wishing to sell you music [I'm a lot more independent with my cd purchases: no amount of advertising will sway my wallet, infact it will often stop me from buying an album, or atleast stay well clear of any band that has a traditional advertising budget of any kind]
I might check it out for a laugh, and hope bands with the most friends don't win- if they, in actual fact, suck.
