Yeah. I'm talking about the present moment in time and new bands. Obviously a huge amount of amazing indie bands have come out of Britain in the past. My question is what is going on today? Useless band after useless band is being churned out like nobobdy's business.
So no, it's not a wind-up this time (to jackhammer) but quite a serious concern. I might say some obviously silly things at times : ) but hell, I be darned if I was gonna start casting aspersions on British music altogether. My point is simple - there is something wrong in the present scene.
And: the vast majority of new, exciting, decent indie acts
are coming out of North America.
