It's interesting to see a more "mainstream" band start to try alternatives to the major labels, this weekend in the UK a boy band called McFly gave their new album away on the cover of a Sunday newspaper, and on the back of the CD it had a phone number to call to buy tickets to see them live, how to get the ring tone for your phone, and various other offers.
Despite giving the album away for free, they still got the number 2 best selling single this week in the UK, not bad for a band who were aparantly dropped by their label after the last album.
