Work is underway on a new documentary titled Behind The Suit and Tie. Unlike most music documentaries, the film will spend more time with the people behind the labels rather than the more musician-focused approach of most music documentaries.
Through a series of interviews with players from both indie and major labels, the film aims to document how the music industry is being affected by the downward spiral of CD sales and how new and up and coming artists must learn to adjust to changing times. The film will also contain insight from Radio DJ Eddie Trunk, Paul Conroy (Ferret Records), Missi Callazzo (Megaforce Records), Al Dawson (Earache Records), Pat Egan (Relapse Records), Ray Harkins (Century Media), JC (The End Records), Mark Nawara (Crash Music), Gary Susalis (Music Choice), Rayny Forster (Moshpit Tragedy), Demolition Records, Heavy Artillery Records, Ex-Megadeth and current F5 bassist David Ellefson, and Soulfly/Primer 55 bassist Bobby Lee Burns. More labels and artists are subjected to be added. Movies and Documentaries (26 comments)

Kind of a stupid idea, but at least they are having people from Earache, Relapse, and The End. 2+ Replies

Will this contain anything that hasn't already been said? "Film?" Do you mean someone's actually investing in getting this into a couple of theatres? Straight to DVD...

I'd be interesting to see Tony Brummel in this. Speaking of which, has anyone seen a video of him talking. Just by judging from his humorous pictures, I imagine him as having a high voice. 1+ Reply

I go to McNally Smith College of Music in Saint Paul. I'm a music business major, so I'm definitely curious about this. | Features
