Bands often lack technical knowledge to host their music. Metalcon can provide them with the functionality to host promotional songs and also share the player on other websites and with other services.
The worst that could happen to a band is that they spend a lot of effort building up their fan base on a social networking site like myspace they did in the early 2000s and then the site becomes irrelevant.
