I thought it was a prank. There is no way six different major labels trying to reach out to me. But it was actually happening.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whatever labels are being pinned on me have nothing to do with me.
More labels should be like that. Instead of putting these records out myself, I should have just signed with them, but they probably don't like my music (laughs).
I think that's the problem in a lot of music. We've got these record labels.
A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.
Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money, and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.
I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.
I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand.
To see a lot of the smaller labels disappear or get gobbled up by the bigger labels, that's a shame. It was a bit of a shock at first to see the demise of the record stores.
To be very blunt, I am not really that concerned with what labels get associated with somebody.
Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.
