Fucking SAY ITEdit: never mind
I was but it felt a bit harsh so I changed itHe was probably saying all these sucky bands suck. Quite right too
Well I am a dad...I find Fontaines more interesting than Girl Band tbh. I mean, neither are in regular rotation or anything but I prefer the swaggering silliness of them to Girl Bands alt-dad rock.
Hahah, brilliant review - thank you. We are guilty of that. I cringe at it now myself, but we were 22 when we wrote those songs. Our next album is going to be very different and you will be pleased to know there will be no cutesy photosi expressed surprise GB were popular (two LP's got to #11 in Irish charts)
in my previous post. never listened to GB until a few days ago.
it's usually fruitless checking out new bands / artists.
you could check out 50 bands and none of them would above mediocre.
the Irish media are twits - people from abroad often tell me how
small the local scene is compared to their own Dublin sized
(or smaller) city.
(esp. punk and metal folks but this is almost across the board)
when the media like a band that sounds like early SONIC YOUTH
(early 80's no wavey era) it's a surprise.
seeking validation from folks who are the problem is a waste of time
- Fuck 'em.
wanting approval from the establishment (especially in music)
is something i don't get.
just listened to ALIEN SHE :
you don't sounds like SY to me - you're much better than them.
the three songs i've heard were really, really good.
anymore bands around that sound like this ?
my only criticism of AS that is i have a prejudice against bands
putting cutesy posed photos of themselves on records.
but that's just me.
