The Indie Education Thread (lyrics, singer, depeche mode, electronic, alternative)

There are heaps of examples of artists deciding that they don't want to sign with a major label and starting their own record label or signing with an independent record label.

Take Laura Burhenn from Georgie James for an example. She couldn't wait for any labels to review her work and edit stuff etc. so she decided to start her own label, which released her solo album as well as an EP from Georgie James.

A major reason why artists go for independent labels is so that they can have greater creative freedom. I mean. Would Sleepytime Gorilla Museum ever be signed to Sony BMG? Unlikely. Too weird... :P
