I don’t know about “best band in the world” but Radiohead is pretty damn good. I like the idea behind what he plans to do for artist regarding profits. Musicians might actually have a chance to make some money.
Brian Message, best known as one of the managers for the best band in the world, is said to be launching a new record label that will allow artists to retain greater ownership of their intellectual property. This article in NME says the new label, Polyphonic, plans to offer artists a 50% base share of profits, with that percentage increasing as an act grows more successful. Reports also indicate that Polyphonic’s primary method of distribution will be online.
