After Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails bid farewell to music labels
Posted by Fulvio | Filed under Blog
Trent Reznor from the official Nine Inch Nails website:
Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate. Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008.
Exciting times, indeed.
This is shocking news.
My wish is that all music artist will start to auto produce their own music using the web and show the majors who really is in control.
It is cheap, it is practical, it is quick, you don’t have to queue in a Virgin Megastore to get the album you want to buy and 90% of users prefer digital formats anyway. Who goes around carrying a CD player nowadays? It was about time something like this happened. Good luck to all music bands that will follow their example. The future is now :)
