"Know Your Rights" Isn't Just the Worst Song The Clash Ever Wrote...It's Also Good Advice


If you’re an amateur musician, chances are that you’ve never walked a red carpet, but you can probably relate to one. Some bands feel crushed by financial pressure from foregoing employment to devote themselves to their art. Some feel this way after finding it hard to be accepted in their local scene or get anyone to listen to them. If you’ve been struggling for a while and maybe hear a lot of people suggest you give up, it’s easy to let yourself be taken advantage of when even the slightest opportunity comes your way. So before this (hopefully) happens, you need to be well informed of your rights. The fact is that a bad deal isn’t necessarily better than no deal at all and sometimes demanding to be treated fairly might not be the deal breaker you’re worried about. You probably already know what to do when you’re pulled over by a cop with an exceptional sense of smell, so why shouldn’t you know how to handle a record executive with dollar sign in their eyes?
