Book excerpt: The process of getting a record deal can be long and frustrating. Five years is the average amount of time between the moment a band or musician decides they are ready for one until they actually get a contract. And it can take longer; bands who seem to be “overnight sensations” have often been playing together and making demos for seven to ten years. Having a good understanding of where you’re going and exactly what you are pursuing may make some of the inevitable setbacks less discouraging. With perseverance and the knowledge you will gain from playing the game long enough, you can greatly improve the odds of getting signed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: xXx Fanzine isn't merely a collection of articles, reviews, and photographs from one of Hardcore America's best-known fanzines. It's a chronicle of punk's evolution in the 80's: a story of music and ideologies in motion. xXx's story picks up while the first wave of hardcore was in full swing. Major players including Minor Threat had already released landmark records, and bands were loading up station wagons to play now infamous venues like The Channel, A7 or D.C. Space. Now, in addition to reproducing (and restoring) original interviews and pages from the zine itself, xXx Fanzine re-interviews countless bands and musical prime-movers including Ian MacKaye, Keith Morris and members of Agnostic Front, Bad Brains and Cro-Mags to give the book a rare "Then-And-Now" perspective. xXx Fanzine isn't just a look back at hardcore's salad days, but a unique look at how punk's music and message shook the mainstream itself.

Book excerpt: For generations, record companies have dominated the music industry. Artists were unable to get their material to the masses without label backing, meaning that the path to stardom inevitably involved artists having to sign exploitative record contracts. These "record deals" were profoundly one-sided, and usually imposed brutal, predatory terms on artists. Fortunately, times have changed and artists no longer need labels. It is a new music business, and it is time for a new kind of music business book. Break the Business is the musician's guide to achieving music industry success through embracing an independent, entrepreneurial, and artist-centered business model.
