The role of record labels has always been a double-edged
sword. At times, they have helped to lift musicians out of destitution and
allowed them to build a career. Other times, they have exploited the artist and
tricked them into destitution. Although this particular ambiguity has remained,
their role in the industry has gone through a transition. Despite horror stories
about musicians writing/recording hit songs and never seeing a penny, many
bands today are still eager to sign on the dotted line and fairly sure that
mansions are in their futures once they do. Due to a number of complicated
factors, a record label’s range of capabilities and willing to take risks have
severely diminished and that once double-edged sword is now closer to a Spork.
