I recently released my first single and I'm excited about it but also scared I'm going to be that annoying person if I share. ๐Ÿ˜…

Per the community sidebar -

Your own music is also acceptable here

Let's hear it!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

seems like a good way to grow the community as long as you aren't spamming it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Please escape this mentality, share your music.

Think about all the music you hear throughout your day and life, in grocery stores, in tv and movies, the radio, blasting from car stereos, podcasts, youtube. You did not choose that, but I doubt you complain about it.

Do not let celebrities be the only people empowered to share music.

Share you music, don't even ask permission.

I've been looking for communities for people who make music. Have you found anything?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been searching for the same thing without too much luck so far. The Guitar community seems to be pretty active so far, but that's not my primary interest. There's a Drums community that I hope will take off. r/drums was one of my favorite reddit subs along with r/wearethemusicmakers. Hoping to see something similar here.

Oh yeah, I forgot about drums. I haven't searched for that yet.

Instead of trying each community one at a time I decided to make a list of ones to try at some point when things calm down.

I'm on vlemmy and noticed that some of the searches I made last night are starting to pop up in the results today so things are definitely working.

You're probably not interested in all of these but there is a wearethemusicmakers community in this list.

I used https://browse.feddit.de/ btw.

I've been doing something similar here in [email protected], but it seems to have been buried. You can find my index of music communities I've found and have advertised here:

Thanks for the list! I tried to search for Communities as well & ceated some electronic music-related Magazines over at fedia for anyone interested. Make sure to check kbin as well, people are just spread everywhere now unfortunately and there are federation issues

Spin that shit DJ!

I'm happy to see some music being shared here! My band just released an album recently, some midwest emo/alt rock stuff! https://open.spotify.com/album/0IlDVbWeSXL62mOBgCVjyO?si=9eajTbomQh6cLQT9l_UsPA

Your album art is awesome! Your voice or vocalist has a nostalgic sound for me. Thanks for sharing!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much!! I'm the vocalist, and definitely still on the journey towards not hating the sound of my own voice :) the compliment is much appreciated!

The literal meaning of something about driving really made me feel seen as a former trucker. Some days man and you can't ever stop until you pull up to your house and hop out where it no longer really feels like home so you get tired of that feeling and get back in the truck and make some money to spend on pointless stuff you never get to enjoy.

It started off so well, how'd it end so badly.

One good thing, it taught me persistence. Don't quit, quitting isn't a choice afforded to you.

Let's hear it!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

As long as your open about it being self promotion, or that it's you. I used to hate the feeling of someone saying they found this band, or just lied about being affiliated with the band. Otherwise, more music is great!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seeing as the whole thread has 0 self promotional posts, and everyone says fine to share (how refreshing!), heres my post punk indie rock stuff:

A synthy-er album #3 is in the works. Thanks for your time!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

What a fun sound - thank you for sharing!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Music is music. As long as you aren't spamming your own stuff every hour or day I don't see why anyone could have a problem with it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
