About this Episode
WUV talks about their indie label Rescue Records, how they started with getting distribution and getting into stores. Back in the day there was no social media and you were only as strong as your mailing list. POD moved on to Atlantic Records and proved that they could move units.
His moment of knowing they finally made it, touring on their first tour bus, and hearing their music on the radio for the first time. We talk about Howard Stern putting them their show and breaking them with radio.

The pros and cons of being on a major vs an indie label.
