With a recession occurring, it can be very difficult for music lovers to dish out the money to see their favorite bands live. Whether the bands be major or independent the cost of purchasing concert tickets, or the actual music can take an unnecessary hit to the pocket book.

I believe this time of penny-pinching can favor the independent bands and the affordable pricing, which comes with their movement.

Indie bands can offer their music for free and can provide an affordable price for a ticket to watch their show. Unsigned bands can definitely take advantage of this situation, because they have no one over their shoulder asking them for a share of their sales profits.
