I just came accross this site recently and i have to say im disgusted with alot of people here. It appears as though you`d give a band all the support in the world while their unsigned but as soon as they sign you feel you have to hate them. Its really no wonder that there are very few bands coming out of Ireland at the moment. As soon as they sign, the public find some reason to dislike them. Its really petty that people care more about where a band get their funds than their music. I really hate all this shit about major labels too. All these people complaining that they dont care about the music obviously have never met anybody from these labels. They care just as much as anybody else. And all this shit about MCD??!! Without them the Irish music scene would be alot quieter. I dont think people really understand how hard it is for bands these days. With the amount of costs involved in the running of a band they need every penny they can get, and if that means signing to a major label, fair enough. I think these days that bands are afraid to sign to major labels because of the lashbacks from the narrow minded people like a few here. Im sorry if this insults people but i felt i had to say it. Just accept bands for what they are.
