But the bands on Myspace that have representation are hella active. It still plays a big part in getting deals and often after you're signed, labels expect to see continuous growth in terms of views, plays, and "friends".
I agree that MySpace is a great tool for bands. I am in a band and actively use MySpace. This article is in no way trying to knock MySpace (I hope it was not perceived that way). I am just stating some facts that I thought some people would find surprising.
