[@dclarkmusic]

Abel Quintero yo, no way! That’s incredible. These people got their money’s worth too. What an amazing show!

[@stagecoachrobbery]

Except Vulf isn't mainstream music. They are 100% independent. They control everything they do. They get zero radio play. They get zero media coverage. They are simply the most successful indie band of all time.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

This lets you forget about hope for mainstream music - that whole concept of a music industry is no longer required! Vulf are independent niche musicians who marketed themselves in unique and engaging ways entirely through the internet, direct to fans. The mainstream can trickle out and all music can work like Vulf does.
