I highly respect artists that promote themselves via Facebook or Bandcamp in order to get their names recognized. One local band from Ithaca that does this is Second Dam. All of Second Dam's members are students at IC, and their popularity is growing very quickly. They released their first EP in September of 2012, and their first full album, "Swimming," is coming out on May 5th — the day of the band's release show at The Haunt.
The band started small about a year ago, just promoting their music via Facebook and Twitter, but now they're professionally recording albums, playing the Westcott Theater in Syracuse, and booking tour dates. Their following (referred to as the band's "Damily") is small, but powerful and helps the band become more well known throughout Ithaca and the state.
My review of their October show at The Nines can be found here!
