Reverbnation

This site is great for new bands and artists. It has a lot of features that are easy to use and share. It is both a free site and you can pay about $35.00 for an upgrade that gets your music out there a little bit more.
The basics of what you get:
- A band profile page
- Photo gallery
-A music player
-Concert and gig list page
-Comments page
- Video gallery
-Mailing list tools
-a large selection of marketing tools
-A spot for press releases
-A media kit
- and many more

The nice thing about this site is it is also a Face Book application that you and your band members can all add to your face book page / profile.

With a paid membership you also get the added feature of having your music posted on the top 5 song down load sites like iTunes, Zune, Amazon and a few others. You also get your band high lighted more often on the main page and in the over all listing of all the bands on the site. Plus other features.

Reverbnation is also great with the marketing tools you get to use. You can make all kinds of widgets that you can place in web site, emails, news letters and can be passed around. Some of the widgets you can build are:

Tune packs - these let you spread samples of you songs around in many ways
Fan club widgets - these let people pass around the word about your band and help build you mailing list for news letters and event highlights

There are so many ways you can use these that its hard to even start listing them all. The best thing is signing up to their news letter, they let you know when they are bringing new tools for you to use.

Use also get a great tracking feature that lets you see how you music is doing. Either by sales, down loads, or listens.

So far the only con I have is not having the time and some better songs to put out for people to hear.

You can see an example of one of the tune widgets on the side bar of the main page of this blog.
