New Myspace Look + Starting To Get Noticed

For those of you who follow the Canadian music scene closely, you'll undoubtedly be familiar with Chart Magazine's online editorial cleverly named ChartAttack.com. For a brief period today, the debut Acres Of Lions album and our cross Canada tour to support it were considered front page news. While that might be common place for many bands, it's a first for Acres Of Lions and as our album's February 10th release date grows nearer it's really starting to feel like the planets might truly be aligning in our favor!

In celebration, we finally took the time to update the look of our myspace page to fit in with web 2009. It's not quite as fancy as I plan on making it over the coming weeks, but I think it's a definite fashion upgrade from our previous version.



On a nerdy web design side note....I refuse to add a huge picture of us to the top of the page, as many other bands have done before us. I think it's just plain dumb when I arrive at someone's myspace only to realize I can access absolutely no relevant information about the band until I scroll a whole page down. I understand that maybe myspace isn't the most brilliantly programmed website of all time, but the one thing they did get right is that all the essential info about the band is available on the very first page and always in the same place. Their real mistake was making it so easy to hack the code to change the look/layout of the page.
