The Sights and Sounds of DIY

Since the beginning of history art and music have brought a natural connection in almost every culture in the world. When it becomes punk rock and its visual counterparts, this relationship is more than just a similar style and way of working. The artists involved in these two aspects not only broke the same rules, but also fascinated the same audience. They are members of the same social group and often visit the same community or club. This opens the way for cooperation and parallel growth in both art forms.

In the 1980 's, the American underground punk movement, whether developed from punk rock music or alleged to apply the spirit and DIY ethics to completely different sounds, created countless bands . By the end of the 1980's, these bands exceeded their punk's predecessors and were called Alternative Rock. As other bands like Sonic Youth and Pixies are starting to acquire more audiences, a major record company is trying to invest in the market that has developed underground for the past decade.

In the world of punk rock, the ethics of DIY encourages the band's self publication and self publication. Development of this method has been necessary since the early 1980's, as major record companies hated the punk rock band created after the first wave of the mid 1970's. The reputation of these record companies, especially the passive attitude towards working with major record companies, is quite uncompromising. One of the most famous and influential labels with "attitude of doing it myself" is SST record company created by Black Flag. Since there are no labels that wish to publish their materials, we publish materials not only from their own materials but also from other influential underground bands across the country. Ian MacKaye's Dischord is often regarded as a model of success in the DIY community and employees under 12 years are always alive for over 30 years.

Nonetheless, despite the increasing number of DIY approaches and attitudes, both record companies - independent and major - have the most extensive experience in the music industry. After all, this is their industry. They can also access top producers and so on. In other words, the music we made with them can bring really good music. However, we need to mention that this could lead to the mediocrity of the artists. With DIY, your music can truly keep your music, 100% is your music. Record companies can also provide artists with advice on which platform (such as Spotify or iTunes) should release music and provide strategies. It goes without saying that they can also get the artist's music. You can save time and money on musicians. Still, it is not impossible for artists to recruit and recruit this method, but it will cost a lot of time and money.
