Martian pretty much nailed it. Artists do get an advance to live on until the album is released, although that money is also used to record the album and the label recoups that money before the artists get a dime from record sales. Bands can make money playing live shows in the interim. All in all, the music industry sucks right now. It's always been a dream of mine to start my own label and, while it might never amount to anything, that is actually what I am working on right now. At least I am having fun doing it and it will be done the right way. I believe in artist development, music over image, and treating the artists right.
