“Indie artists and labels are still reeling from being left out of the deal between a major music social site and the top labels after having essentially created the site’s huge and attractive roster of artists,” comments Garrison Leykam, Music Quench President, indie artist and former producer for London Records. “There are also loads of websites promising connections to A&R execs who can place their songs in exchange for exorbitant membership and per song fees as well as other sites selling insider music business listings like maps to the Hollywood stars. My associates and I said ‘enough is enough’ and decided to create a music community website built on respect for the indie artists”
