I'm about to start an emocore/metalcore band and I know its not gonna be easy to build a fanbase for this genre. If anyone has any advice please help me out!

Cannot be any more difficult than building a fan base for an Original Godrock band.

Or any new band for that fact.

You do it one fan at a time by having music, business cards, an E presence, merchandise here to for known as "bling".

Most importantly you have to have FUN ... FUN is contagious.

A body in motion tends to remain in motion. A stationary body tends to remain stationary.

You've got to give people music they like/want to hear. If you do that, they'll come back/buy.

heavy metal would be a niche market at best..IMO

Logan, the best way in my oipinion is to get out there in Party Mode and play your songs like you were throwing a bash... Laugh with it, cut up , have fun Make the chicks happy as hell and they will respect you... You will be remembered I guarantee it. That's what starts the base.

I do this at open mics..When I sing, Its always a dedication to the ladies in the house... If you think about it, those are the ones we actually gotta please...
