Favourite artists that aren't riaa affiliated

I figured it would be helpful to start a thread that lists artists (and albums) that make quality music that are also safe to buy.

Blues Traveler -- Bastardos!

Good labels to check out:

Profane Existence (anarchist label, run collectively)
Crimes Against Humanity
Armageddon
Crass (Started by Crass)
Mortarhate (started by Conflict)
Alternative Tentacles (started by Dead kennedys)
No Options (Started by Born/Dead)
Prank
Blacknoise
Tribal War
Skuld

A lot of amazing punk, crust, grind, and anarcho stuff.

Also, Immortal Technique, on Viper Records. ("Burn it off the internet!")

A lot of good artists on 'the End records.' Personally I dig agalloch and ulver. Devin Townsend has his own record label solely for his own projects and things, so that's cool. (he's also in strapping young lad which is century media released.)

Pain of Salvation is on Inside Out which is an independent prog/power metal label. Aha. :D

Hot Cross (at least their old stuff)
Converge
Old Man Gloom
Red Sparowes
pg. 99
The Mercury Program
Ed Gein
Fucked Up
Youth of Today
Botch
Takaru

I pretty much listen to a mix of sludge/doom, old style screamo, hardcore (oldschool hardcore, some metalcore, and chaotic hardcore) and post-rock. I try to keep it varied!

The best part is that I don't support the RIAA by listening to them or buying their stuff!

Demilich

Demilich, this band are actually doing the opposite than RIAA does! When these guys have earned enough from their albums, they give it away for free ^^
http://www.anentity.com/demilich/download.php
You can download covers and music! The music is not in some shitty mp3 quality only, but in FLAC too! All free for download! If you still wants to support the band, buy an album of em! If you are into Death Metal, Demilich - Nespithe is a great album! =)

My entire charts?

As far as being stronly anti-RIAA in their actions
its hard to go past Big City Orchestra, just see what a member of that group loaded as their offical image on last.fm.

Also there is the noise musician IDX1274 who releases all his Cd's for free, asking only for you to cover postage costs when ording from him.

Some of my favourites include:

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Magma
Panopticon
Sorgsvart
Jello Biafra
Wolves in the Throne Room
Skagos
A Silver Mt. Zion
Univers Zero
The Ruins of Beverast

As you may have noticed, there's a strong tendency towards anarchy in my charts.
