Mike Atta of the legendary So Cal punk band The Middle Class needs our help after his previously dormant cancer has returned and spread throughout his body. More info can be found here.
Steven Blush (Hardcore historian)"You had a band called the Middle Class in Orange County, California. And that kind of spearheads the whole Southern California vibe of music. Today, you would think of Social Distortion or Bad Religion. That all comes out of the Middle Class and their single called "Out of Vogue.""

A while back we posted a list of the 30 wealthiest drummers, and there's also a list of the wealthiest lead singers too.
Some Stand-OutsDave Grohl - 225 million
Gwen Stefani - 80 million
Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge - 60 million each
Billie Joe Armstrong - 55 million
Zack de la Rocha - 50 million
Chester Bennington - 25 million

They forgot to include Hayley Williams on this list, however, according to another article from the same site, she's worth around 8 million dollars. Fred Durst is on the list for having 8 million dollars (he's #84).

Damon Krukowski of Galaxie 500 has written a column for Pitchfork discussing the business of royalties since releasing the band's first LP in 1988 to streaming services' payouts now.
From the ColumnTo put this into perspective: Since we own our own recordings, by my calculation it would take songwriting royalties for roughly 312,000 plays on Pandora to earn us the profit of one-- one-- LP sale. (On Spotify, one LP is equivalent to 47,680 plays.)

Steve Albini has slammed Amanda Palmer for saying she couldn't afford to pay back-up musicians (after raising 1.2 million on Kickstarter). Someone may need to get Amanda some aloe for that burn ...
From the BlogI have no fundamental problem with either asking your fans to pay you to make your record or go on tour or play for free in your band or gather at a mud pit downstate and sell meth and blowjobs to each other. I wouldn't stoop to doing any of them myself, but horses for courses. The reason I don't appeal to other people in this manner is that all those things can easily pay for themselves, and I value self-sufficiency and independence, even (or especially) from an audience.
