ok thought i would start a bit of debate
with bands such as forward russia just relaseing stuff of there own DIy label is there a point to signing with a record label when you can start your own the pros to going it on your own are total musical freedom and proffits are all yours
the cons are if your just start out you don`t have the contacts that a label has and you will have to start with very little money (if any at all) for promo and travel.

what do you think
