Indie Band Survival Guide

Here is the best single resource I've found yet for indie musicians - Beatnik Turtle's Indie Band Survival Guide. It's a completely free, no-strings-attached guide to how and why to stay indie, written by an indie band for indie bands.

We're sharing this Survival Guide because its our belief that indie bands need to stick together. There's no reason to repeat our mistakes and there's certainly no reason to waste time and reinvent the wheel. We're happy to share with you what we've learned. We sincerely hope that you get something out of this. If you like it, or want to talk to us, go ahead and send us comments. This Survival Guide is a living document. We will constantly update it as we learn more on our own, or from other bands that wish to share.

Beatnik Turtle is a very active band from Chicago. One of their projects is to post a new original song every day this year at thesongoftheday.com.
