An
Indie band is a musical group that is neither controlled nor allied to major
record labels. In many times, Indie bands record and produce their music
chiefly by themselves. Indie bands are commonly small in size and tend to
perform in small to medium sized clubs and such like events that suit their
nature. Indie bands produce a variety of music genre. Indie does not refer to a
specific sound, but is usually synonymous to non – mainstream groups. However, Indie
bands may influence one another and in consequence may have a similar sounding
jingle, unintentionally.

Indie
bands do not sign for the large mainstream entities such as Atlantic and Warner
Bros. instead; Indie bands may make music for the independent or indie labels
such as Merge Records, Touch and Go, Sub Pop Records and many others. Indie
labels are meant to provide the much needed distribution of indie bands music
records. They are a means by which the music of the indie bands reaches the
desired audience.
While
some indie bands have been able to use the indie labels as their launch pad to
greater heights and much more mainstream achievements, others are contented to
continue being attached to the indie labels so long as the label can meet the
band’s circulation needs.
A
majority of indie labels function on a very different model when compared to
the major corporate entities. While the
major labels almost always sign bonuses, the same is a rarity with the indie
labels and thus the indie bands signed to them do not take delivery of huge
sums of cash up front. Indie bands and indie labels usually share out the
expenses and profit on a fifty by fifty percentage.
Indies produce quality records too:
Signing
for major labels or for indie labels isn’t an indicator that one is producing
sub – quality records. In fact, many indie bands produce very quality work that
most audience search for in vain due to distribution hitches. Most of them tend
to rely on their performance proceeds which are well attended in most cases.
