Sure they rode on a wave and had some cash thrown at them, however once the wave crashed down, so did their so called careers.īut the internet was supposed to level the playing field and in a way it did, however what didn’t change was the need for artists to still require a record label to be heard above the noise. And I use the “career” word loosely, because we should all know by now that the monies earned by 1% of the artists prop up the whole business which in turn means that a lot of artists never really had musical careers. We all know that in the pre-Internet era, signing with a label was the only choice an artist had if they wanted to have a career in the music industry and of course, like all great monopolies the labels exploited that power and position. And then there are others that deliver more ground breaking work. Others just play the game and keep on delivering the same album over and over again. Others deliver albums that polarized their fan base. Some can’t handle it and they may end up dead. In other words the junkyard of broken rock n roll dreams is piled high with the souls of artists who didn’t meet the commercial milestones that the record labels were after.Īnd when an artist sees that all they are worth is just an income generating machine, they start to change.
