On this episode we get into the SMOD debacle, the role of Youtube in the scene and much more with our good friend Chris Latta of Lavaborne and Indy Metal Vault.
Chris also made this FB status I wanted to share before we get into links - something interesting to consider:
-Normalize bands with their own YouTube pages
-Remove the stigma surrounding bands with Patreon/Kickstarter campaigns
-Use album streaming channels as starting points, not destinations
-Go see your favorite bands live when they are close to your area
-Know which bands and venues are around you
-Pay attention to which bands endorse others and how they endorse them
-Follow genre tags on Bandcamp
-Tell people what you’re listening to
-Always post links to where people can buy/download a band’s works
-Likes can be easily faked
-Genre categorization is your friend
-Database websites are your friends
-Music reviewers are your friends
-Don’t associate with bigots
-Posterity matters
