No. labels like Victory Records are a good example. They are traditionally a hardcore label, but they have bands like Hawthorne Heights and Aiden signed to them. Trustkill as well. Traditionally hardcore, but now has bands like Hopesfall and Open Hand on the label.
And I do agree with you in a way Ledzep, that the term "indie" seems odd when applied to a major label band, but can't they jump to a major label while retaining their signature sound?
