Fact – there’s no more money left in the music industry. Does that mean emerging acts should just give up trying? Of course not…

Here’s an imaginary TV listing: The Let Down. A new series on Sky Atlantic about a young band from The Bronx, or just about anywhere, who live a kind of Groundhog Day existence in the music business – where nothing new and exciting ever seems to happen. Sounds boring? It is! Mondays/Tuesdays/Wednesdays/ Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays – 12am-11.59pm.
Of course, you know this already, because you read the news, you follow the industry journals from time to time, have friends in bands, you keep your ear to the ground and for the last 10 years, folks have been saying stuff like: “We’ve been through the doom and gloom period”, and: “We are out of the trough and coming slowly but surely into a period of growth.”
