But, if it looks liek the label can actually do things for you, I might negotiate a little further and go for it. If it's going to be your band's name on a web page along side some other bands, then they can go fuck themselves.

I would certainly talk to the other bands and see if that label earns their cut.
Aren't you in the Ronald Raygun? Or am I just listening to too much Alien Ant Farm?
good deals are here.

The only thing I miss from the 90's record industry is the high budget music videos.

And sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys, but labels don't book shows for you.

your jams are really rad, dude. I'd only do it if you could get some vinyl pressed asap or a front for a new recording.
i'm glad i can call you a friend. even if i'll never see you again

I would also love a vinyl copy of the album. Bought a digital one, but it's just not the same. Album is prime.
