“I consider us to be one of the first Internet-based bands, especially because we basically started our entire band via the Internet. Before MySpace Music even existed, we had a band MySpace page. We were one of the first fifty bands on PureVolume(.com), and we really built everything from the Internet. That's how we started talking to record labels, that's how we booked our first tours. Without the Internet social networking, like Twitter, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. It is a huge part of the band.” FirstsTodaySocialTalkingRecordsHugeInternetBandPagesBuiltLabelsFiftyNetworkingSocial NetworkingSocial NetworkRecord Labels Author:Jack Barakat
