Web platforms for independent musicians: review of the search process

Recently I decided that I want to continue my hobby of making and performing music. I realized that I need a website for my hobby. I looked around and had three options:
  1. build one on my own (very simple html/css with a cool image and an audio player, possible a one-pager),
  2. use wordpress (there's a number of suitable templates that can be used as homepages for performing artists and musicians)
  3. get on an online platform for musicians online.
Below are the results of what I found. My requirements were
  • tool for bands to make and manage websites online
  • tool for bands to promote their creativity
  • tool for bands to distribute their content viraly
  • tool serving independent rock folk segment
  • audience is russian speakers
Went to google.com to collect a list of available platforms. Here are the contenders Went on alexa.com compare traffic See something that I missed, please let me know. See something that you've used and would like to comment on? Feel free to leave a comment, I will be extremely happy!

    I'm still in search for this tool so if anybody can recommend a web service that can help me get my hobby spread, I'd greatly appreciate it! Currently, I'm using a set of plugins for wordpress. Please review the performance on pages: Pictures, Music, Videos.
