The music business is often a mystery to most bands, songwriters and musicians, where the secrets of success are known by a select few. It's an area that scares many musicians.
Most bands completely neglect the business aspect of music, thinking that somehow, someone will come along, recognize their talent, and offer them a record deal that will change their life. Most have no idea what a record contract or publishing deal actually is, or if they really need one, let alone how to get one.
The same is true of marketing and promotion. Most bands don't do enough, and what they do do, they don't do effectively.
