Really interesting idea. The band are using fan donations to fund their upcoming album and left their label in the process. They're only $6000 short of their $125,000 goal already, and it's only been a day.

screamo? no, not even close. i'd say they're metalcore or mathcore.
it's interesting though how this band is broke, but managed to raise $100,000 in less than a day from their fans. just shows how major record labels are sucking the life out of music. even with the label they've managed to put out 3 good to great albums (their best one written when they were all 17), so i can't wait to see how they sound without the label holding them back.

Band Salary per member, per month - $833.33
