-Indie Label-
The term ‘Indie Label’ can be a bit misleading these days, due to the fact that some large Indie labels are actually distributed by Major Labels. Nevertheless, a ‘true’ Indie Label means they are independent from any Major Label.
Now, there are numerous amounts of Indie labels; all varying in methods and genres and experience levels, etc.
According to the Record Labels & Companies Guide, the best way to succeed in the indie record label game is to specialize in either local music or genre music. These are two areas that the major record companies may ignore.
The Internet has also done a lot to promote the success of independent record labels. If they have trouble getting retail stores to carry their product, indies can sell albums over the Internet. The Internet has also been host to a variety of contests for music artists wherein the winner receives a record contract with an indie. If you're interested in independent record labels, check out IndieCentre, GarageBand.Com or theCollege Music Journal.
