I kinda missed this thread but...
I also play in a normal rock band, (no sampled material) and we have been
approached several times by indy labels and 2 big name label reps over the
past 5 years. We've always passed due to alot of issues. They expect too
much with very little return to the band. They all insist on a 4 year/ 3 cd
contract. We can do most everything besides worldwide distribution/,
promotion ourselves. The big name labels wanted to own all 3 of our earlier
cd's meaning they would get royalties on all future sales. I could go on
forever but I'll spare you :)
We would consider an indie label deal, but not under any the terms we've
seen thus far.
Never a big name label! As for the RATM question, nope. They prolly wouldn't
play with us based on our name...Machine Gun Kelly. :)

"...Malaise mostly arrives in the way these things get talked about and consumed, reterritorialised so they reinforce the canon of 'great songs' and 'great artists'. Maybe it means that plunderphonics is officially over as an intrinsically subversive act and now should be seen as part of fan culture." - Drew Daniel of Matmos, discussing "bootlegs"
