be kind to independent music makers. what you perceive as successful doesn't necessarily mean they aren't struggling monetarily and/or emotionally. it's a true uphill battle for those trying to sustain in an industry run by three corporations

We're struggling financially but are pushing through and hoping to make it to the other side by end of the year. Transparency is key - I think it's important that people know running an independently owned label is a labor of love and really hard

release singles! release albums! release nothing because you make music just for yourself! want to make money off your art? do it! want to make music just for fun? do it! there's not one way of making or sharing music and i'm just a sap who loves to hear it no matter what

PSA: you can support independently owned record labels by pre-ordering/buying records directly from them. Most rely on direct-to-consumer sales to keep their doors open

so you're saying we should use our stimulus to sign a band??

we're proud to work with developing/new artists. it's really hard work & so rewarding. but it also sux when the rest of the industry waits for labels like ours to do the work/take the risk to make their jobs easier. nature of business but still feels wack

Lately I've been feeling disheartened & even a little burned out on the music biz. I didn't intend for this to be a career, didn't go to school for it, fell into it bc of my extreme love for music as a fan. I'm privileged and grateful and don't take any of it for granted.

I understand why promoters/venues are nervous when booking an artist's first headline show but do not offer a touring artist a free/unpaid show. We take chances on new artists all the time and for the most part, it pays off! People can't survive on tour w/o compensation

while we're incredibly honored & excited to work with new artists, especially on debut records, it's challenging to get fans, press, radio, dsps on board. so if you like what you hear, give a follow on the social media & streaming service of your fancy. it goes a long way

all this talk about artists' master ownership (which we believe in strongly) brings up things heads of bigger indie labels have said to us... our label is worthless (to them) without owning masters. business is business but that's not the kind of business we want to be in

Would ya look at that! I met up with a guy from a band I really liked because their bass player is leaving and I said I was interested in joining. This morning he accidentally sends me a message that is meant for his drummer.
