In this special section of the website, popular bands and aspiring bands can have their own public profile, similar to the one in MySpace. The New Music Only is for the established bands that already have their profiles. This section would give the fans the chance to listen to the band’s latest music once they clicked on the band’s profile. If you want to see the groupies, you can look at a certain part of the profile where most of them are displayed. They would only appear on the profile of the band if they have included the band on their network. There are also other interesting details that you can see on the band’s profile including their blogs, their schedules, their tour dates, and other songs that you could listen to. The songs of the band can be organized by album, by date releases, and other. Only those who are officially included as a band member can edit the profile of the whole band. Moreover, it is only them who can log on to the Bebo account of the band.
