The label scene is a great way to get started, as is everynoise.com.
We’ve looked at underground and small indie labels to know. Today, we’re moving up the labels tiers once again and discovering a few midsize indie labels.
A midsize indie label is an internationally established label with at least a few artists on roster (past or present) who might be familiar to a more mainstream-leaning listener. Touring internationally would be standard practice for most artists signed to a midsize indie label, and you’re probably selling out rooms of at least 500+ seats on a regular basis.
Here’s some labels to explore.
