Five Years of Zunior - Independence Matters

At Zunior, we've been using our independent store to sell digital music from independent artists for five years now.  Independence matters.  Independent music comes from new artists, young artists, established artists, veteran artists... all are smart artists.  Independence means freedom, and freedom matters when creating music.

Just like it pays to buy the right kind of food, our customers buy the right stuff.  Zunior is like a farmer's market of music.  You know exactly what you're buying and who you are buying it from.  It's kind of a 'you are what you eat kinda thing'.  We started the store with the premise that our customers would support music, knowing that musicians are directly connected to the sale. Basically, buying an album from Zunior is like buying a cd from your favourite band's merch table.

Our approach has been consistent since 2004 and we hope to keep doing it for years to come.  For this show, we've chosen artists that have a real connection to Zunior. In the coming weeks, we'll talk about all of them on Thick Specs.  For now, check out this Zunior.tv session from Culture Reject from last year (above).
