London Grammar are a British band from that formed in 2009, since then the media sites like Facebook and twitter have help get the band "Out-There". Without the popular social network site "Facebook" the band would not have formed in the first place.
On the 12 December 2012, London Grammar posted their song "Hey Now" on YouTube and now has over 1.9 million views, and there Sound Cloud also had around 370,000 plays in early 2013, which has grown over the year to be in the millions. This is a synergy relationship the band has mad with these to site.
Because of the Internet they where able to market themselves and there music around the world, proof of this is because there EP Metal & Dust made the top five of the iTunes chart in Australia. On there Website there are lots of external to lots of different social media sight like Facebook, Instagram and Sound Cloud. This increases there presence on the internet. In an interview with a NHS Manager she said she was watching a vlogger talking about London Grammar on YouTube, then she said she then listened to the song ‘Hey Now’ on YouTube and really enjoyed it, after listning to extracts of the songs on there new album on iTunes she went and bought the album to play in her new car. Later that day she posted a facebook status saying ‘Just been listening to London Grammar in my new Car with the roof down. Lovely car, lovely music, lovely day :D’ she said that her cousin said she really liked it and that she had just bought a couple of tracks on itunes. and also that another friend messaged her saying she’d never heard of them before but she’d just downloaded the whole album. We then sent a questionnair arround the school about how they found the music they listened to and 30% of people bought music based on a recommendation from a facebook friend or other social media site? but 80% Have downloaded music illegally based on a recommendation from a facebook friend or other social media site.
