Indies Blossoming Despite RIAA

Posted by michael on from the mammals-keep-eating-our-reptilian-eggs dept.

Shadow Wrought writes "We have all read the numerous RIAA articles on Slashdot, not to mention scores of other articles that discuss the industry's purported demise. An article at the Christian Science Monitor calls this assumption into question by pointing to the success that Indie Labels are beginning to enjoy. An interesting read and one that provides pretty good support against the RIAA's argument that a quartet of college students is responsible for their troubles."

    Is the popularity of indie music improving because of its non-affiliation from the "Big 5" or is it because they are not signing cookie-cutter artists to make cookie-cutter songs?

    In the words of (earlier, less corporate) Aerosmith...

    I'll take music that doesn't suck for 1000 Alex.

    I gave your "Sounds Like" search a try and I was very impressed. I even tried some of the more obscure bands that I listen too and they came up. You will definatly be getting my business.
