Appletell Interview: Indie Rock Bands on iTunes

We all know by now how Kid Rock feels about the iTunes Store, but what if you’re not a former star fighting for relevancy in an industry that’s otherwise forgotten about you? What if the industry has yet to even acknowledge you?

A couple years ago, I interviewed three indie bands—Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer, Bishop Allen and Splitsville—about the process of getting into the iTunes store and how they’re using it to appease and increase their fan base. I’m posting the article again here in a slightly updated form, as the answers I recieved may shed some light on the iTunes process, and will maybe help Kid Rock learn that perhaps music sales aren’t always about just making money.

Discover the spirit of rock and roll after the break.
