Hex Music: French Bliss
David vs. Goliath? Tower Records helps indie group go head-to-head with Big Label artists
PARIS (PRWEB) September 8, 2003 -- Sassy indie label Hex Music/Labyrinthe City is proving that DIY is here to stay; their new album is being picked up by Tower Records (www.tower.com) for distribution worldwide.
The French group's import album, "Spoonful of Voodoo" is also carried by #1 indie music e-store CDBaby.com.
But the move by Tower shows that scrappy indie artists can land name brand distribution without mega-bucks; the Hex album shares online real estate with established artists backed by big labels.
"We're pleased about it, obviously," said singer/lyricist [9]. "Distribution is a huge problem for indie artists; a lot of bands only go local, because they can only reach a local audience. People are demanding the widest selection of music possible, and Tower is actively addressing that need.
It's a savvy move on their part. The Tower initiative is very encouraging -- it's also completely logical."
