Grizzly Bear quote

INDIE-ROCK QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “I’ve always thought we write pop music. I think songs of ours could be on the radio. They’re not... There’s a ceiling that independent artists hit, and the only way past it is radio. [And radio] still feels very much controlled by major labels’ ability to use leverage—you still have to have the muscle. Very few indie acts actually have breakthrough radio hits.” —Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste quoted on NYmag.com in a trending story about the challenges facing the critically acclaimed indie band and its peers. Roy Trakin gives the piece a close read in the latest edition of Trakin Care of Business. (10/19a)
