To what extend can the web help unknown artist to break through? A question which especially is relevant to artists from smaller countries, who don´t have a big label behind them to get them released abroad.
The distribution of music has changed radically since it´s been possible to share music on the internet, and Arctic Monkeys from the UK is one the bands who was discovered through their MySpace page even before they had a record deal. But does that mean that bands can depend on the web to make them famous if only the music strike a nerve in people?
I asked the question to editor and music writer Jordan Zivitz from The Montreal Gazette, who was reluctant to say yes, but who still thinks that the old fashion way of touring is what works the best. I also asked him where on the web he finds up and coming artists, and which blogs he reads, so if you want to get some tips from a music critics then watch the podcast below.
The music in the intro is by the Danish band Nephew.
