We have to be honest, there are not many people that would argue that Running In Circles by The Influencers is a classic album, but the buzz around the Rockstar CMO penthouse this month is influencer marketing, so not only is the name of their band on point, but so is the story of how this band gained a following (according to their website):
They struck gold when Youtuber Danny Casale (Coolman Coffee Dan) debuted Running In Circles on his channel, giving the band the exposure they had been looking for. Within hours of the video upload, hundreds of fans found the two albums on streaming platforms and overnight The Influencers had a following.
