(U-WIRE) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — As with most everything in American society, monopolistic means have long dictated the music industry with a handful of labels that control the scene. For those not into mainstream music or the mongers that control the airwaves, Fitehouse may be a band worth listening to.
The Baltimore-based band has not only refused to create music within the constraining parameters of a record label, but has helped pioneer innovative ways to distribute over the Internet.
Consisting of founders guitarist Josh Cohen and singer Gabe Gilligan, along with drummer Eduardo Cecena and bassist Edward Plant, Fitehouse works to revolutionize the music industry through artful media tactics and campaigning techniques. Fitehouse declared outright war on the Recording Industry Association of America, whose lawsuits proclaiming music file sharing an absolute no-no have resulted in the revision of Internet sites like Napster.
