Episode 4: Independent Labels
Upload date: April 22nd, 2015
Synopsis: In this fourth episode of Band Aides we take a look into the world of record labels; independent record labels to be precise, as the major label world is a whole other kettle of fish. In a music buyer economy that has experienced troubled waters of late, is there still a place for record labels? We ask whether the business models are still relevant, when so many tools and technologies exist to aid bands taking a more hands on, DIY approach.

Episode 3: Management
Upload date: April 1st, 2015
Synopsis: In this installment of the Podcast, we delve into the role of the Artist Manager, one of the music business’ most involved and multi-faceted roles. With the aid of 4 international band managers, we take a look at when bands should get a manager, what essential skills a manager must possess and what key functions they perform in service of their roster. We also look at what qualities managers might look for in an artist, and what common misconceptions come part and parcel with the job.
