  2. Vanity Labels

    Show notes

    If you were around back in the mid to late 90s, it was a common occurrence to have artists with their own vanity labels, where they could cultivate their own roster of bands that they thought deserved a chance. While now a distant memory, join us as we dive into the history of this concept and discuss the bands that it included. Cheers!
