Hi: I am writing to talk about something that doesn't happen often in the music business. Our band "The Gousters" has hit the Top 50 Indie chart
( Roots Music Report ) on three occasions in the last month or so. We have no label and no money from anyone promoting us. RunningTimes Music commented: "It's almost unheard of but we hope this is an indicator of how indies are being taken more seriously." I'm a Vietnam Vet with 100% service-connected PTSD and my writing partner is a well known musician named Zander Schloss, bass player for "The Circle Jerks," one of L.A.'s founding punk bands still touring. Where is Indie Music going these days with the advent of the internet ? .. it's mind boggling !

Sincerely,
Walt Cronin
"The Gousters"
