People need to get more clued up on the business side of things, to many people have got a raw deal from labels. I'm not saying don't sign a deal, just know that what you're signing will be beneficial to you...

Once you are on the top then there is no stopping for you.The big stars I think are the masters of every thing related to their music.

And one more thing, they made you therefore they can break you. They contol you. How cool is that? zero.

Your songs, your style and kind of music will be in the masters order because your just their worker who work for them. But this will get you very famous if you are lucky and good enough.

Well I am not talking about the big names.

They dazzle you with the big names they work with, famous artists they produced, fortune, the world... Basically they tell you what the average artists want to hear. The question of who controls who is a very real issue when choosing labels. Remember Elvis and the Colonel? The problem with this big labels is they use the names of famous artists.

How many of them will sign on the dotted line, without even reading what they are signing. It's almost sad! I tend to think that most labels are nothing but money grubbing sharks that are out to eat artists for lunch, and see how much they can bleed them for until the next "greatest band in the world" comes along!

They haven't got a web site sorted yet, unfortunately, but I'm sure when they get one going they will be able to expand their audience while keeping the freedom they have at the moment. Why would anyone go for a deal as restrictive and unfair as the one you mention?
