Well, I'll wait and see - but thank you for having the decency to respond to my statementSerumrecords2 wrote:Basically-eastperson wrote:Hmmmmm....not sure what to think about all this....
I am an artist myself, and wanted to get myself noticed, without having to jump through hoops and give my anal virginity (kidding) to do it. So I formed a label based on the ideal that the modern label for up and coming artists should not try to suck the artists dry, especially because they most likely started from nothing, and it's wrong to kick someone when they're down. Taking bullshit %20-%30 profit cuts off an aspiring artist who needs the money to follow their dreams in like punching a baby and expecting it to get back up. So we take no cuts, give you the tools to pursue your dreams for free and we also master your tracks and create your cover art. What do we get out of this? The satisfaction of knowing that we helped somebody realize that not all people are bad, and there are people who just want to help. I can personally vouch that Serum Records will never sell out and never take cuts, no matter what. I'll actually post the contract, and we can make edits to it so it really becomes the people's label!

- Does work for free for artists
- Provides expensive legal licenses to the ones who sign up for free.
- Doesn't charge any one anything more than a voluntary amount.
- Does not have a website or password to current soundcloud page.
I know.... but sorry, something doesn't add up. There is nothing on here that generates any income for the label to support giving away free licenses to pretty much anyone who wants one. Great if it is legit but.....
Thx for posting details.
