Objectives \u2022 I want to look at how much of yourself you have to sacrifice in order to become what you want to be: how much you have to sacrifice your talents for the record company, the fans and even the other band members. \u2022 I want to explore how far commercialism has embedded itself in the music industry. \u2022 Is it possible to create and release music with any real amount of integrity? \u2022 What does it mean to \u2018sell-out\u2019? \u2022 How can a band keep \u2018it\u2019 about \u2018the music\u2019? \u2022 What does \u2018the music\u2019 entail? How Done \u2022 I will look at and compare the record contracts of a major label and an indie label. \u2022 I will look at Marx\u2019s views on commercialism and capitalism and how they affect culture. \u2022 I will assess how much control bands have over their music and what they could do to keep it about \u2018the music\u2019 so that they do not \u2018sell-out\u2019. What Achieved \u2022 By doing this I will have more of an understanding of what kind of balance there needs to be with the band and the record company in order for the music to be heard by enough people without it loosing its integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
