NIN Drop Record Co

10/09/07
. (antiMusic) Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor has been very public about his dissatisfaction with some label policies including what he saw as overpricing of the band's latest CD in Australia to which he was told that the label charged that much because the fans would pay it. That didn't sit well with Trent and during a recent concert Down Under he encouraged his fans to steal his music instead of paying inflated prices. Now Reznor won't have to worry about such things as he announced on Monday that Nine Inch Nails are officially free agents having left their record company behind. Here is his message:

Hello everyone. I've waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is a totally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label.

I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate.

Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008. Exciting times, indeed - more on this story
