How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
i think in a way its for the good, gives people a chance to listen to whatever they want to as apposed to the generic sh*** thats on the radio. Also the internet is great for young bands, eg. its a good way to create a small musical community of friends and bands.
but at the same time, there are way's to download peoples tracks for free, even if they are copyright protected. everything has a kink in the system!!

Band History:
Well Jargon started off as a band in the summer of 2005 scheduled to just play a one off gig for the 40th birthday of the rhythm guitarists father, Davy Noble. It began with a metal freak Danny McHugh on rhythm guitar, our current rhythm guitarist David Thompson(Granda), our current drummer/lead vocalist Sean Kaluarachchi, Jack Gaston and Micheal Locaran who didnt have motivation to continue. A close friend of Sean and David was a bassist called Christian Johnston who also was experienced with. He brought along the lead guitarist Steven Toal. From there a friend (Finbar Maginn-lead guitar) was brought in as he was luckily nearby with his guitar. He was invited in by davey, the father. The gig seemed like a great success though it probably wasn’t our best played gig, it was a great way to start our band. From ther we decided to continue with Jargon and our lead guitarist Stephen Toal brought in Micheal Toal(keyboard) but sadly we had to kick him out because of musical differences, dont think hes forgivin us yet. From there we carried on for about a year and due to different interests from our bass player, we sadly had to get him to leave also, we talked to Christian about it and hes fine, we remain good friends to this day.
