Quality Major Label Support
Posted in Advice, Artists/Bands, Marketing on 11.20.06 21:21

While the goal* of plenty of artists is to be signed to a major the saying you should be careful what you wish for is proven in another great example of support that seems to have derailed a seemingly alright at worst band [my personal tastes would have the band in question, the twenty twos, rate fairly well from the little I heard on myspace]. How bad can it get, well “they stopped cutting the checks and/or returning our phone calls“. That’s fucking cold. via coolfer

*Now more than ever artists, with new options developing everyday, should be careful in defining what their goals really are - do you really want to be on a major, perhaps the specific one of some key influence, where that’s the only thing that will make you happy, or do you want access to promotional/distribution/whatever resources they have - and can you find them elsewhere now or another means of reaching the same ends. No point getting signed to your “dream” label only to lose your band completely in the end.
