Jimmy Eat World’s Rick Burch Discusses the Future of Music
For the past 17 years, Jimmy Eat World have made their way from indie success, finding “Lucky Denver Mint” making it onto the Never Been Kissed soundtrack, to Billboard Top 40 status with the likes of “The Middle” and “Sweetness”. Labels Keep Firing People to Stay AliveWhile their style has changed frequently over the years, along with their core fanbase, what remains constant is the laid back and humble nature of the band members themselves. Rick recently sat down with us for the first in a long series of interviews you’ll find only here at Music Revolt. We drilled him about the industry, and his answers didn’t disappoint. But don’t take out word for it, check out the video!
Rick gives his thoughts on the where the music industry is headed. Discusses digital distribution, illegally downloading, and how the record industry has changed over the years. The most notable change according to Rick is that, “The labels keep firing people to stay alive…” and those people are having to find new jobs within the industry. Rick also notes that it doesn’t take a label to make it as an artist anymore.
