Web Pick
Website of the week: Amplifico
Friday, August 11 2006

This may be the first time ENN has featured a band website in our web picks. That's because this not-too-bad three-piece, whilst hailing from Scotland, have managed to exploit the web to generate not only interest in their music, but to also help fund the independent production of their first album 'See Heart, See Muscle'. It has many of the elements you'd expect in a band site, such as forums, obligatory link to a Myspace page, etcetera, but what it demonstrates is how easy it has become for bands to choose to circumvent traditional business models, labels and publishers, to bring their music to the masses. At the moment there's also a free three track EP under downloads and some fan remixes too.
