I don't know about the rest of them, but I remember reading that bands were always having problems with getting money from SST cause they'd take the money they made from artists like Sonic Youth and the Meat Puppets and put it all in ****ty bands that made nothing. So I challenge the notion that independent labels were all that great to work for.
