Cutting edge Web 2.0 application launched for artists and unsigned bands

 

London, UK, 25 August 2006


Cutting edge Web 2.0 technology is now available for unsigned bands and artists thanks to conceptTshirts.com who have started a free interactive web 2.0 site to give exposure to new bands and contemporary artists.

Web 2.0 technology is the 2nd generation of the web and brings collaboration and interactivity to sites that were previously top-down and undemocratic. Users can add their bands and artworks to the site and everyone can vote on them and comment on them. A whole artistic community of bands and artists can critique each other’s work whilst the community democratically decides which bands and art are most highly regarded.

Whilst web 2.0 has been available for tech sites for months, this is a fantastic way for artists and musicians to experience the freedom and extra features that the 2nd generation of websites is able to offer. Users can communicate with each other and mark each other as friends, sharing their favourite sites and ideas about their art and music.

Jonathan Powell, webmaster at conceptTshirts.com said, ‘Most of the artists here are musicians as well, and we wanted to do something that would get them and the thousands of other unsigned musicians some free exposure. We hope that this will turn into a huge cultural community with unsigned bands getting success and artists networking and finding exhibitions. We couldn’t have done this site even six months ago, we are on the cutting edge of web applications and we are glad that we can help artists and bands.
