"Indispensable ... This lively book offers such essential guidance in these changing times, no band should be without a copy."—Publishers Weekly
"The Internet is an extraordinary opportunity for musicians to make and profit from their music. This clearly written and comprehensive book shows exactly how. A perfect balance between the mess of the law and the promise of the technology, it should be read by anyone who wants to take their talent and share it—for the love of sharing, or for the profit."—Lawrence Lessig, author of Code, professor at Stanford Law School, founder of the Center for the Internet and Society, and CEO of the Creative Commons project
"Finally! A comprehensive and practical guide for musicians that explains how to navigate today's music world without a label. A must-read!"—Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby and HostBaby
"If they gave out Grammys for music career books, Randy and Jason should surely win one. Their Indie Band Survival Guide is a must-read resource for any musician wanting to take the independent path to success—which, these days, is the only way to go. Networking, branding, Internet promotion, live gigs, distribution, publicity ... they cover it all. Highly recommended!"—Bob Baker, author of Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook and founder of TheBuzzFactor.com
