“For independent record labels, IRIS is the antidote to the corporatized control of music distribution. It gives worthy small labels who don’t “fit” the cookie-cutter templates of the big record companies a chance to get their music out there. As a result, it has a real chance of re-democratizing the American music spectrum.”
– Ken Wells, best-selling author and principal, Digital Sac-a’-Lait Records
