Whilst i understand that in the modern music scene the bigger record labels unfortunately tend to play a role in helping artists get there music out there, its not to say a band can't get out there without one, Enter Shikari are a great example of a huge indie label band, and I'm more than happy to by there CD's because the money is going to them, not some record label, obviously some bands want to be signed and thats not a problem, but as long as its costing £10 for a CD sure i will by a CD every now and then but I'm sure as hell not going to stop downloading, being in a band and having many friends in bands its nice just to have people listening to the music, obviously CD sales are great, but the best thing people can do is go and see the band, get a piece of merchandise from the gig, the band get far more of the money from this than they do from CD sales... And in my experiance more 'rock/emo/whatever' fans tend to prefer albums, its more sorta chavs n' that who go for just singles.
