Well maybe if you're acceptable, trendy and you have your hair polished the right way to impress a huge audience with your naive fake rock, they will let you produce your shitty records on your own.
I believe the whole "indie" scene is a fake as hell, it's just another cliche - to have something "outside of mainstream" for all those pseudo intellectuals and kids that want to look hype and listen to lame musicians with egos as big as many of those super pop freaks.
Those bands are many times serious posers, they just don't try to pick up 15 year old girls but 19 year old girls (or boys as I am concerned after watching those cherubines).
I mean if you take your own band seriously you can give a shit about indie non indie etc.
And what's the deal with those DUMB smartass band names? like "cold war kids" or "elbow" this is just another way to shout "we're free" "we're indie" "we're different" "listen to us we're cool" "you want to be indie like us!"
Fuck that get a real name and play some real music!
