OutStation Flips the Script on Indian Artist Merch

OutStation just dropped their first official merch collection, and they're not playing the game everyone else is playing. No t-shirts. No tote bags. That's huge in India's music scene, where those two items basically are the merch game.

This is the kind of thing that separates labels and artists who are actually building a culture from ones just moving units. Smart positioning, even if we're still waiting to see what they did put in the collection. But the fact that they're breaking the mold before we even get there? That's the real story.
