Using social networking sites - Twitter

To explore and find different ranges of indie/pop rock artists I decided to make a tweet asking if anyone knew any upcoming artists that I could get into contact with. The very next day I got a new follower, an upcoming indie rock band called Adora. I found this quite helpful as I could get into touch with them but also get have constant feeds coming through to look at the different songs they releasetoo. Only down side of this was the fact that they were based in Chicago, IL.
