Why Money Has Tore So Many Bands Apart

You know the story well: a band records a hit, it starts making money, and then tensions emerge. Who wrote which verse? Who deserves how much? Did the producer’s studio time count toward “points”? Did the marketing team’s work deserve a slice? Even when everyone’s intention is good, the old system is full of ambiguity, delays, and opaque accounting. Labels, publishers, and middlemen often stand between you and your money—and by the time a royalty check arrives, it’s wrapped in cryptic spreadsheets and late to the table.
