Should undergroundscene be for underground bands?

Infact do you not think it would be a little boring if we all just talked about bands nobody has heard of?Theres definately room for most types of subjects on the board.

Couldn't agree more.

Bands simply being on here is enough to advertise themselves and UGS is doing a sound job of promoting them. The gig listings is a great addition, and having the band forums is a good way to promote their MP3s etc. I've got loads of bands on my PC, thanks to UGS and some I quite like so now I'd go to gigs etc... the system works

Although if you guys took me up on my links section idea which was ignored even more bands may get promoted... anyway...

What about if the posts per page was modified for the gigs forum due to its business or would it be easier to not spoonfeed posters and have them click on page 2 when they notice the bottom post on page 1 says "last post today"

Yeah you're not gonna get a big multi-page thread about Children of the Monkey Basket from Nowhereville, Fife. You will get ones about Fightstar and The Libertines and Nirvana. Limiting the site to just local, underground, unsigned bands would make it boring. No one would visit regularly and it would eventually die, destroying the good stuff that it does manage to achieve.

So, in a way, Charlie from Fightstar is actually HELPING Scottish underground music. Huzzah!

agreed! same with the mindless off topic stuff. Most the people who post regular crap subscribe.

i think the set up as it is now strikes the right balance for all topics.

there is pretty much a thread for any topic you want.

i still think there could be more advertising of some kind done to attract more local bands to post cause theres quite a few bands i know that dont know about this place.
