If they're a 1-hit wonder, maybe that's why they want more up front: In case they gain no new listeners from the GTA 6 soundtrack and continue to be a 1-hit wonder.
It's like why football players have insane-sounding contracts: Because in the future they won't be able to make the same kind of money.
Sounds to me like homie was smart and thinking long-term.
Yeah but their an 80s new wave band. I don't think they're making new stuff these days.
Further cementing my point. If they're not making new stuff and this deal gains them no new listeners: it's a bad deal.
I just heard some of their tracks and I feel like it wasn't a huge loss not being able to hear a Duran Duran or Depeche Mode wannabe band while I'm murdering hookers in GTA6
I don't see the logic in that though. They can't really expect to be paid so much more than groups who offer greater recognition. It's like charging more for the Walmart brand over the name brand product.
