These days we are seeing more and more 360 deals. Labels are signing new acts and the contracts are forcing the bands to give the labels a piece of all of their income from touring, merch, licensing etc. It is a sign of the times.

I have a new record out on Matador. No, BS. Came out in December. We were lucky enough to do it old school. We're one of the few who can work radio and the press. Too many are willing to get high and have the record company bang them a good one. If I had to sign a 360 deal I would skip label entirely. Just like movie studios they have a thousand ways not to pay you. I just wish free downloaders would make the differentiation between true indy and major label indy.
