my band are new and i intend on doing nothing but give my music away for nothing, up until the point when were on a label and ready to release an album. small bands really should give their music away for free, just to get themselves on the road. i think anyone who knows the stories of bloc party and arctic monkeys and how they achieved fame will agree.
