This is a very screwed-up business. Record labels don't sign a lot of bands these days. We just want to find a home and stay there and make records and do our thing and not have to look over our shoulder.

I need to reach a lot of people to sell records.

You don't want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.

We've sold over 100,000 records so far, and we're an independent label.

Our records are commodities. We're looking to make a sale. The radio stations are looking to get the advertising dollars. The end.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

I started my own record label.

I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.

The record companies are interested in the kind of sales they can get from the rock groups.

I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.'
