Why Musicians Need to Build Their Own Brand & Not Become a Meme Band: Everbloom Tackles Social Media

Every single day, it becomes harder and harder for musicians to stand out and be noticed. This is due to a number of factors from increades competition from so many other musicians releasing music, following the algorithms of social media and streaming platforms, and everything else trying to grab your attention.Newer artists have it even tougher as they do not have an established brand or an established identity yet with the masses to be recognized and given that attention outright. So what must they do in order to give themselves a chance online? Create a brand that is uniquely them, but not fall prey to the algorithms and become a "meme band."Austin and Ryan from the emo/melodic hardcore band Everbloom join the Chord Progression Podcast today. With a new band on the horizon for you, we dive deep into this new artist by discussing:- The origin of Everbloom and the importance of finding other band members that are just as invested in the success of it as the rest of the members are.- How important it is to properly create a brand for the branmd and for the music both visually, and to create a consistent sonic connection with the fans that they can immediately connect with.- Songs like "The Day We Said Goodbye" with its emotional toll, and the aggressive upcoming song "The Luxury of Decency," focusing on why being beholden to an algorithm on social media and playing into it directly can be a negative move in the long run.Young artists and music fans take note, this is what artists are dealing with today.
