| description: | We are a new breed of record label. Well in fact we don\ like to be called a record label if the truth be known. We like to think of ourselves as a music marketing business. You see in this day and age musicians, solo artist and bands alike don\ need a record contract as such to get their music \"out there\". OK having the financial clout of a big label behind you is an advantage, but you have to pay back every penny these labels lend you, and then they split greedily what is left to their advantage. Times are a changing and here at OWACM we have set up what we feel is a new beginning for artists and bands who want the \"security\" of being signed, without need to sell their soul to the devil. If you think we are what you want, contact us. But beware, even though we aren\ the big bad corporate label, we still have standards and expect music that is submitted to us for consideration be of a high standard and that the artists themselves are prepared to present themselves in a professional manner. |
