Podcast #58 - Election's impact on US Visa, and Songwriting Royalty Splits 

Uncertain times in America with a new President taking the reigns, how will this affect overseas bands touring there? Cabba and Ash discuss the possibilities and direct you to organisations such as Tamizdat and Play America who specialise in US artist visas.

We also chat about recent negotiating between Bandcamp and ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association), meaning that sales on Bandcamp will now count towards a band's position on the ARIA Charts. This also led to discussions on songwriting royalties, and some different ways to think about how to split ownership of songs within your band.
