Where do we go from here?

[Conor Page]

What we really need now is an up-and-coming band with something to say and can get themselves heard, the most recent band i can think of is arctic monkeys and to be honest their newer stuff isn't as good as their older stuff. Ever since, the only music that really gets played are corporate nonsense/love songs which doesn't really express their points of views on anything. Yeah, we still have brilliant bands such as radiohead, kasabian etc who are still recording or writting, but around them is no new acts which can get noticed and get people to go "oh, they're good let's go buy their album, they have a point of view, something to say." I think that we've hit a patch where kids are grown up with low-ambitions and struggle with the concept of art and creativity. I blame modern music produced by corporations which has an easier chance of getting airplay, i also blame talent shows such as x factor who basically encourage this rubbish.  this isn't the first time it's happened, they're is something about conservative governments where music just stops aswel, it happenned in the 80's. but at least in the 80's their was depeche mode then stone roses came out and music was brought back to life from there cause then there were more fantastic bands soon after like Radiohead, Nirvana, and the list is huge. Now though we just need this one spring of life where an up and coming band just says  "you know what, we're gonna do it our way, we can change this, get rid of this rubbish, lets write about what we think of things." And another point, all these acts that are produced by corporations to make money get forgotten, think about it, who still listens to the backstreet boys or busted and so on, so on. It's becuase they've done nothing to get remembered for. I just think everyone should do somin creative, leave their own stamp on the world.
