Steve Bowman On Record Labels

Steve Bowman (stevethedrummer.com)Steve Bowman, the acclaimed drummer of Counting Crows and Third Eye Blind, gives us an insider’s perspective on record labels. He breaks down bands’ label options into three categories, and breaks the posts up the same way:

Part 1 – The Majors

Part 2 – The Independents

Part 3 – Creating Your Own Label

These are great reads if you’re weighing any label options. I know they’re a bit long, but the information is invaluable. Obviously, Steve can only present a unique perspective based on his personal experience, but that’s certainly a lot more experience than many of us will ever have the fortune to gain.

I’d love to get your comments and pros/cons if you have any. Enjoy!
