“We're not a big record label with lots of money, though, so need to pay for the recording, manufacturing, adverts, videos, touring, promotion – all the stuff a label usually does – ourselves. This means that when we release an album, we give it 110%. Real blood, sweat, and tears. Personally, I don't think a lot of bands do that kind of thing anymore, certainly not in the successful indie rock scene.” [2]
