Online advertisment for bands

Most bands now of days, have their own website to promote themselves as well as their music. For an example I’ll be using Disturbed’s official website (www.disturbed1.com). The first thing that we see when we enter this site is a quick one page ad showing a new album that they will be releasing in May of this year. They want their fans to know that they are coming out with a new album and therefore make it the first thing viewers will see on their site. Once we enter their site we are taken to the news page. Here we can find out any new information about the band or any new albums they are coming out with.

One of the most important features is the media section in the website. Here we can listen to a few songs from each album. This can be a nice feature for someone who has never heard this bands music. A viewer can listen to the music and know whether or not this style of music is what they like. Also in the music section is a place to purchase an album or get songs on iTunes.

Also on this site is a biography and image section. Here we can look at pictures of the band and learn about the members of the band. This is a nice feature to make the viewer of the site feel closer to the band members and more likely to continue following the band or purchase their music.
