    Other than 'OK GO' (a company even copied their routine for a TV ad!) none of them have broken into the mainstream in the UK.

    What about Danger Mouse? He was the other half of Gnarls Barkley which topped the UK charts with 'Crazy' just based on downloads alone when it first came out.

    Mainstream may be out of the reach for some of them - but they surely got much more exposure through the internet than they probably could have otherwise.

    Our band, OES, has become the hottest Toronto band (really, check the search rankings) based exclusively on the Internet and social media. I can say "exclusively" with some confidence, as we've never actually performed a gig or recorded a song. Oh yeah, we're hot.
