SellaBand

"The music industry is all about fences. Those who are on the inside, and those who are on the outside. SellaBand wants to break down all the fences. Everybody with a passion for music can be on the inside. It's your music. It's your choice."

This is in the mission statement of Sellaband a concept that provides a platform for bands. These bands have to find 5000 people to believe in them. Fans (or Believers in Sellaband terms) can buy parts to help their favourite artist getting closer to their ultimate goal, to raise USD 50k so the artist can record a CD. Sellaband started out in August 2006 and already 3 bands have hit 50k and are in the studio recording their CD (Note: On March 18 the total number of artists on Sellaband who has raised 50k is four).

Instead of major record companies telling us what is out there, Sellaband shows us that the other way round is also possible. Bands and their believers are providing the market of what is hot. Who better than the fans can decide what is hot or not?
