im sure the band dont give a toss about whether people have a first impression due to a website or not they are hardly fame chasing, groupie hungry rockstar wannabes they just play fucking ace music, and they have gotten by just fine without a website so far. they got to release a SUPERB 7" on Jealous records (with awesome dye cut artwork which is pricey) and have gotten to support some great bands, 5k write up in kerrang etc and as i said the mp3s have a direct link. you either got the gig on the basis of that or you dont. basically, the website has fuck all to do with it music makes me go to gigs, not websites.
