Alexander Wayne recognizes a good opportunity when he sees it. Wayne, a 21-year-old from Dublin, Georgia, is a guitarist for a new band called The Everyday Anthem. Wayne and lead singer Nicholas Pena have hopes of adding members and recording an EP, but their current objective is to find an audience. To do so, Wayne signed up for SoundCloud, a website that allows artists to post their music for others to see.
