xjustinxschwierx Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Little League/LLR Recordings, I'm gonna guess? nope...it's on the tip of my tongue...i can't remember what they were called. Action Heights Records! I remembered they did a Faultlines CD and found it through google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 there was a label in Chicago about 7-8 years ago that signed bands based on purevolume play counts...needless to say, that label folded pretty quickly.I'm sure they liked what they were putting out, but they were operating under the assumption that that if they did this the bands were going to blow up...and I can't even remember the labels name let alone any of the bands they did albums for. Little League/LLR Recordings, I'm gonna guess? LLR did collapse, but I forgot the reason. Probably because all their bands did get bigger (The Academy Is... and Gatsby's American Dream) or broke up so he just said fuck it instead of looking for new bands. nope...it's on the tip of my tongue...i can't remember what they were called. Action Heights Records! I remembered they did a Faultlines CD and found it through google I have an Action Heights comp from when the label existed. I think it had Between Home and Serenity, The Response, The Phoenix Rising and Threefold. I think it was a girl that ran the label and also booked shows at the KoC and worked at Victory Records. I saw Faultlines a handful of times and I always liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 yep that was Abby, she was also the person that Tony Brummel made to take the fall on the NeYo vs. Hawethorne Heights "street team memo to hide the NeYo CDs in stores" thing. I remembered there was a band with pheonix in the name...but yeah...decent label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flood Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 honestly dude you're a prime example of what is wrong with the music industry. You know.. good for MTS for putting out blink records... its cool to make a ton of money off a release like that... but honestly i'd wager its the dudes here with smaller labels that are the basis for local scenes that get the most love and respect.

zac Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well this thread got interesting since last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 dude didn't make $80k. 4000 records x $15 = $60K... and then you gotta minus out the mfr costs (gatefold jackets are mad expensive), no doubt a sizable licensing fee, royalties on the sales, etc. and then factor in the amount of time it takes to assemble, pack, and mail 4,000 records. no doubt dude picked up a check, but it's not nearly as big as this kid would like to believe, and it was no doubt a shitload of bitchwork involved.

mediocore Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Once again, sorry I'm not in a shitty oi punk band. You keep doing your local scenes, and getting much love, and whatever else you want to do with your mid life crisis record labels. I'll focus on trying to be successful.And thank you mediocre for contributing NOTHING to this argument besides making yourself look like an idiot who has nothing smart to say. Sorry I like to say funny shit, like broseph. I must be an idiot because of it. I bet someone on here who is bitching me out owns the label that put out Sadville. LOL. I'd be willing to bet anything Chillax duder! I'm in a dope-ass band too. We get 5,001 MySpace plays a day (our player's broken at the moment).

mygreatdevastator Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 You guys have no idea what you're talking about. This is the most groundbreaking shit I have ever fucking heard. It is so marketable. You can market this shit all day and night. Move units kid! This shit will be PLATINUM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themean Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'll focus on trying to be successful. Focus on something else. Your shitty mall-punk band is going nowhere. Go be an investment banker where making a buck is valued over any sort of integrity. I think you would fit in well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Cause if it isn't making dollars Then it isn't making sense If you aren't moving units Then you're not worth the expense If you really want to make it You had best remember this If it isn't penetration Then it isn't worth a kiss cambionic and smailtronic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
