 Are Artists Sell-Outs?
The latest Nissan ad for the Quest Mini-van features the song "Gravity Rides Everything" by Indie-Rock band Modest Mouse. This has MM fans in a tizzy over whether the band are sell-outs or just making a living.
What do you think? An unknown band has the chance for national exposure (maybe even international) just by supplying their song as the track to a television ad campaign. Are they just looking for a quick buck or is it a legitimate and justifiable career move? Talk about it in the Adtunes Forums!
