April 7, 2011 75% Want a Record Deal
On the back of the Reverbnation survey of over 1,800 artists, 75% of whom would like to sign a record deal, it has to be asked: what’s happened to the DIY digital pop revolution?
What amazed me, in particular, about the survey was the record companies listed as Most Wanted: the majors… Sony, Universal, Warner etc
Is it the innate stupidity of hundreds of music artists? Or are they recognising the basic flaw in the DIY argument: to promote a group successfully you need money and resources beyond those possessed by most bands and soloists?
