Yeah.... I'm not sure about the music industry everywhere else, but in the US it sucks the big one. It seems the only way to get a record label here is to sound like everybody else and be a big suckup, and that is LAME. Fuck the mainstream US music industry. I say get an independant label that actually CARES about the music and not all the fucking cash. .....Wait. Does that even exist any more? Probably not. This all sucks. All I want is for them to get a good and non-trendy singer, but I bet whatever label they want is gonna force 'em to get one of those trendy singers that THEY believe will get them rolling in dough.
(By them I mean the record company, not the band, of course. The companies obviously don't give a shit about the band unless they make the company a couple million.)
Sorry for the rant, it's probably inacurrate but I am SO unbelievably pissed off right now at all this!!!
