Under Construction &/or Band Under Pressure
Band In Difficulty? If you want to spot a band or a music business who are non-starters, in difficulty or are on their way out, take a look at their website. Phrases like: "under construction", "new site coming" and "website is undergoing major redesign, will be finished soon" are dead give aways, especially if the U.C. signs have been up for over a month. Most under construction signs don’t come down to reveal a brand new website, they just come down - good-night.
If you don’t believe me or fancy a holiday from success, try it for yourself.
Delete all the files from your web server and replace with:

image_swap();
useless_javascript_here();
} //–></script></head>

Leave the page to brew for about six weeks (the more weeks the merrier).
Watch your band go down the pan.
Of course it’s not always the case that the bands and the music businesses who have under construction signs up are losers, but it mainly is. LOL!
