And very helpfully, even if you do attract the interest of a record producer and/or label, there's an article in SOS this month that tekll you what a complete ass-raping you can look forward to from the music industry

I remember reading an article that your typical band that goes the traditional route when releasing an album - ie having a major label pay for the studio time, hiring of the producer and paying for mastering and distribution will end up in debt to the label for a very long time. This, even if their first ablum does very well in terms of sells. One band that sold over 100,000 copies of their 1st album still was in debt to the label and had to live meagerly until about their third album (where they finally broke even with the label).
