But we did. MySpace Music has finally launched and it’s just as underwhelming and biased as we predicted it would be.

It’s not because we're some great geniuses that we were able to foresee this, but because it’s been obvious for years to anyone watching that MySpace takes independent artists for granted.

Listen up artists, fans, labels—listen up Orchard, A2IM, Merlin: It’s time to stop chasing the crumbs from the majors’ table. It’s time to stop chasing vague promises of ad revenue from MySpace. You need to get down with Metalabel.

We are building a genuine, lasting alternative: a place where independent labels, artists and fans can come and share, discover, sell, and purchase the music we love. Independent music is not a second thought for us: it is why we exist.

We are exclusively for the growing world of independent music, and at Metalabel, the indies are the stars.
