- Is It A Good Time To Start Record Label?
By: Jack Chapman | - The other night I was I met several MDS of major labels and wondered, "Why would anyone do this?"".
I began to consider: it would be exciting to develop a new record label, one which could become a leader in the music industry as it promoted new and "niche" artists.
What makes a label viable these days?
A few of these label owners were discussing recent deals -- primarily of the 360 or 270 kind.

- Two Bands To Watch Out For
By: Robert Wilson | - In our never ending quest to find new music, and new bands destined for great things we present this week two hot new bands to look out for.
First, may we present "Carolina Liar". Surprisingly, most of the band are from Sweden. I don't mean that Sweden doesn't produce great bands, Abba, Roxette and The Cardigans being the obvious examples, but the name "Carolina Liar" and the sounds emanating from the lead singer, Chad Wolf, sound totally American. That could be because Chad IS Am ...

- Indie Musicians
By: Marcia Henin | - The crashing of so many big music labels has started the Indie musician's movement.
It's really a movement, but I refer to it this way because I look at it as a way of beating the system and the big giants that used to tell music artists what to do and used to take almost all of these artists money.
They still exist, but the internet and the illegal downloading phenomenon has made them smaller and made the artists realize that maybe taking unreasonable fee on their CD is n ...

By: Michael Gulbin | - If you're in a band and you're struggling for recognition, it might not mean that you play terrible songs or are completely talentless. It might simply mean that you aren't focussed enough as a group.
