In yet another victory for music connoisseurs, Nine Inch Nails have announced that they are 'free agents'.
In a posting on the group's website, frontman Trent Reznor revealed that the band have parted ways with their record label and are now "free". In the posting Reznor wrote: "I've waited a long time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate."
This comes days after Radiohead, who are also without a record contract, announced they will make their new album 'In Rainbows' available for download and allow consumers to set the price. ---UPDATE: Album now available for download---
Both of these announcements as well as recent rummors that Oasis may go the same route as Radiohead could signal a change for the music industry. |
