Earache's bands going onto Major labels?
Question: Hi, i am doing a dissertion at College on music business management. I would like to know, how many of your bands are on Major Record Companies?
Answer: Right now we only have one band who Earache discovered and released,who are currently on a major record company. That is Linea 77 who are on UNIVERSAL records.
EARACHE has had a pretty remarkable record of our signings going onto Major companies.At the last count, its 13 bands.Out of a total of approx 100 bands signed, thats a better than 1 in 8 chance of progress to a major after a time on Earache.
