I assume artists are free to use any recording facility they choose. No wonder ChuckD endorses such creative freedom. Sellaband sounds like a great concept.

The feeling is this is a model and change which we will see ever more of in the future. I mean, obviously I'd say that as we're kind of betting our company on it ;-) But great news from Sellaband nonetheless, plus I really dig Public Enemy...

But that's the main similarity between the two sites. SellaBand allows artists to raise their recording budget via crowdsourcing online from fans and the general public worldwide. When the $50,000 target is achieved they can record the album they want to make with total creative freedom and are offered full A&R support to help choose the most suitable producers, engineers and studios. Fans, or ‘Believers’ as we like to call them, invest from as little as $10 into an artist and receive a limited edition CD mailed to their home plus a share of the artists' sales income.

CD Baby completely rocked (and still does) and it looks like these guys are doing something equally impressive. The kind of thing that actually makes me think I might actually do something with my music. To date 29 artists have raised $50,000 with them. That's a typical advance from an indie deal. Wow. I can't wait to see them grow while the record industry continues to sue itself out of existence.
