An independent record label is a record label operating without the funding of or outside the organizations of the major record labels.
The boundaries between major and independent labels, and the definitions of each, differ from commentator to commentator. In popular music, indie music (from independent) is any of a number of genres, scenes, subcultures and stylistic and cultural attributes, characterised by perceived independence from commercial pop music and mainstream culture and an autonomous, do-it-yourself (DIY) approach.
Definition: Our name Straw House originates from a term that P.T. Barnum started in the 19th century to mean sold-out or oversold performance. In other words a turn-away crowd. Barnum never wanted to deprive an audience member a ticket, so he would have the working men bring in bales of hay or straw to add extra seating for the performance.
The term is still used today in the circus-world when they have a SRO (Standing Room Only) crowd.
