How Sick Of It All Avoided Music Biz Downturn

(TeamRock Radio) Sick Of It All bassist Craig Setari says that the band have avoided the negative impact of the internet because they have always been primarily a live act.

While many bands bemoan the effect digital downloading and filesharing has had on business, the hardcore icons just keep on doing what they've always done best - entertaining audiences from the sage.

Setari tells SROMaginc: "Once the whole digital download thing happened, it kind of killed record sales quite a bit. But we've been fortunate, because we were always a band that was primarily a live band.

"Our real proving ground and our main thing was touring and performing, so it hasn't had a terrible effect on us, although it has affected us somewhat. It's about going on the road and playing and playing and playing. The records, all they do is give you an outlet to get new music out so you can go back on the road.

"If we were a Top-40, hit-single type band, it probably would have affected us worse." Read more here.
