So I run a donation based digital label, and i always wondered what the general view on these are? I was hugely inspired by Jeff from Bomb the Music Industry! to do this.

In the year we have been around we have put out some of my favorite records:

10-4 Eleanor- ...Too Bad(RIYL: Against Me!,Get Up Kids,Hot Water Music)
Captain We're Sinking- It's a Trap!(RIYL: Smoke Or Fire, Lawrence Arms)
Arliss Nancy- Dance to Forget(RIYL: Lucero, Drive By Truckers)
The Sandwiches- Hitting Refresh to Drop Witty Comments(RIYL: Nofx, Lagwagon)

I feel it has helped our friends we put out records for more so than harassing people on myspace and facebook to check out the bands.


Thoughts?

I respect the Quote Unquote Records people for what they do. I got some great music for free. Yours looks to be a lot like it.
