The much maligned record label system received some defense from Quote Unquote act The Riot Before. The band explained:
Record labels, especially when bands are small to unknown, are an invaluable asset to artists. The first The Riot Before record probably wouldn’t exist if Brian from Fall of the West hadn’t asked me to make it. I was just some guy with demos on the internet then. Thought it’d be cool to make a proper record one day, but there was really no one keeping me accountable to those ambitions. The labels we’ve worked with have helped to push us.
They’ve provided us the means to get into the studio. And that alone is huge. We’re currently wrapping up a two week stay in the studio (two weeks!), something that never would have been possible if Adam at Say-10 hadn’t bent over backwards to make it happen. We’re close to finishing a record that I’m very proud of, that I’m excited to let others hear, and we have him to thank for giving us that privilege.
The band released So Long, The Lighthouse via the donation-driven Quote Unquote last year.
