so,
one of the two bands i'm in has been recently getting some credit and we've been contacted by some record label. i won't explain all details but i would like to share this experience. the labels want us guys to provide money for the press of our first full lenght. then they will have to be in charge for ARTISTIC PRODUCTION (which means, if for example they do not like a verse, a part of a certain tune, they can actually force us to change it) and they also said WE will have to pay for such a job. lastly, they want us to travel all the way to their studios to record the songs - and obviously want us to pay for the hours in there as well.
i thought label support would mean getting these things covered - financially, over all and mostly.
it turns out it's a major screw up.
what are your thoughts? we have ours already... and it's very clear. but i want to know what you people think about it.
