| From the Where2sing.com forum: James T Orr: It depends what you mean by 'record company' Many of the bands I've mentioned and others aren't signed to the likes of Sony BMG or Universal, rather to local recording outfits that might have a roster of 8-10 bands max. They still manage to record great albums, promoted with excellent live gigs [ a band sounds better live ] and still get the album into the 'local music' section of your HUM music store. Sure, as they get bigger with 4-5 albums under their belt they might move to a mainstream label and get the promotional dollars but by then its toned down and stylised for the timid majority.
My mp3 player gets fed with local music, not Sony BMG 'McDonalds'. The downside is that most aren't on karaoke but them's the breaks. Get out, check out the live music pubs in your area [ not the coverbands! ]
