Musicians You Should Follow on Instagram

May 16, 2012


Following their billion-dollar takeover by Facebook, it seems like Instagram is all over the place. It's one of the fastest growing social networks ever, attracting a borderline-obsessive following among its 50 million users. A lot of artists have hopped on the shared-experience train; it's something to do on tour, a way to share glimpses of luxury or chronicle their unfiltered antics. Last year, we talked with Instagram founder Kevin Systrom about why people are so eager to self-document and share. Now, we've looked around Instagram and found the music world's best feeds to follow. (P.S., we've got one too.)
