I think this is the right place to fire this in - I'm running a blog on music industry issues and how they actually relate to underground bands. The idea is to provide bands with a breakdown of currently reported trends and factors, so that they mean something real to non-mainstream artists.
It is still in its early days, but there are a small number of articles already posted, including a couple of interviews delving into the relative experiences of those who have been and done. Feel free to browse through the archive, and don't be shy about leaving feedback on the blog or its FaceBook page.
The blog
The FB page
Also, there's plenty of room for posters to be included, so drop me a message at
critical.events@hotmail.co.uk if you're interested in inclusion. Rates will be silly low, I won't be placing anything that doesn't relate to the general subject of the blog or the interests of its readers.
