LoudBurst Pops Major Labels' Bubble

LoudBurst Pops Major Labels' Bubble SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when major record labels decide which artists the public gets to see comes the launch of loudBurst.com, a site devoted entirely to independent and newly signed acts. Traditionally, major labels have spotlighted their highest selling artists at the expense of everyone else, making it very difficult for independent and newly signed musicians to get their music heard. LoudBurst fills that void by spotlighting new artists that have not yet been noticed by the national media, giving music fans of all genres something refreshing to listen to. The result is a tremendous opportunity for independent artists. "LoudBurst is one of the only music download sites to offer independent artists the chance to sell their music as a ringtone," says Hide Maeda, General Manager of loudBurst.com. The company's strategy actually revolves around providing independent artists with the promotional tools that are usually only available to nationally signed acts. "By allowing artists to distribute their music directly to the public, the need for a record label is greatly reduced," adds Maeda. The ultimate goal is to create an online community where independent artists can build a fan base beyond their local roots. To see the latest up-and-coming acts, visit http://www.loudburst.com/ .
