Oasis, NIN And Others Jumping On Radiohead Bandwagon?
-
Artist:
Rumors have begun to surface between music insiders that other bands are planning on following in Radiohead's footsteps, after the band releases their new album In Rainbows tomorrow at a name-it-yourself-price method. Britpop rockers the Charlatans will release their new album, You Cross My Path, for free via UK radio station Xfm on October 22nd October. But music insiders, in a recent interview with UK paper The Daily Telegraph, said Oasis, who are currently unsigned to a label, are thinking about pulling a Radiohead for their next one. 
OasisOasis are already releasing their next single "Lord Don't Slow Me Sown" as a digital release only, on their own imprint, Big Brother. Another band that might take the same name-your-price-for-our-album road according to insiders is Jamiroquai. The outcome of the music industry largely depends on the sales and profits success of Radiohead's In Rainbows. Already media outlets are tagging unsigned bands with the possibility of releasing their albums under the same method.Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent reznor released a statement yesterday (October 8th) announcing his band's departure from their label, Interscope."I have been under recording contracts for 18 years," Reznor wrote on the NIN Web site, "and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate."Immediately media followed-up with the notion that for the next Nine Inch Nails, Reznor would allow listeners to decide how much to pay for it (http://news.yahoo.com/s/launch/20071008/en_launch/49998583;_ylt=AvqXuREWetseKliRd2AeYmOVEhkF). The record companies can't catch a break and are truly on a downward spiral.
