Butch Walker Lets You Choose To Pay For His Album

With his new live album Leavin’ the Game on Luckie Street, Butch Walker and his management team are letting you decide if you want to pay for it or not. It is offered as a free download, or you can purchase is for a LOW price of $5.99. This is a 2 disc set (23 songs) and the live recording is impeccable.

Go to www.therecordindustryisfucked.com and please drop the cash for the album. It’s great to see artists willing to take a chance and try new business models. This goes to show all you up and coming bands . . . do you really need a record label to get your music out there? Instead of spinning your wheels trying to get signed, just get your music out there! It’s a great time for the DIY band. Get your music to the masses, bust your ass with your live show, tour like crazy. The rest will fall into place.

Basically, the record business is fucked, but not for bands. Only for themselves. It’s the most exciting, positive time for music, as rockandroll and indie have gone completely back underground.

 

It’s exciting, and to see artists be able to release albums whenever they want, for whatever they want, and not have to fear sending in their cover art, only to have the art dep airbrush off the singers mustache (in fear of not selling to a certain demographic of fucking statistic) is wonderful.

 

Essentially, everything they have or haven’t done in the past, I will purposefully do the opposite . . . and probably make my first paycheck for once.

 

Viva la freedom from cubicle music! [Butch Walker, www.butchwalker.com]
