Major labels such as Sony Music Entertainment own the majority of the global music market. They have significant financial resources that allow them to widely distribute, market, and sign new talent. However, major labels have a long corporate approval process. Independent labels like Roughtrade lack the distribution abilities of major labels but have more flexibility in their operations. They can be more creative in finding and developing new artists as well as adopting new media technologies. Roughtrade was founded in 1976 and helped launch the careers of influential punk bands in the late 1970s. It is now part of the Beggars Group and continues to specialize in genres like punk, indie pop, and post-punk.More from mercadom123 (9)
