There`s hundreds of bands around that sound like that. It didn`t help that they`ve been hyped to death by certain music publications making them out to be far more than what they are.

thats a fair point, they were made out to be incredible and saviours of british rock, up the bracket, dont look back into the sun, horrorshow, boys in the band, cant stand me now and the likely lads are all great singles though in my opinion.

I remember a couple of years back the NME devoted 2 WHOLE news pages on one of Pete Doherty`s houseparties getting stopped by police.

The basic story was he had a party at his house & neighbours called the police where they were told to turn their stereo down.

2 whole pages for THAT.

That`s the kind of stuff that could put me off a band no matter how good they are

i dont understand why people hate bands because they get media coverage. ok fair enough, 2 pages broadcasting a house party is a bit pointless and a waste of 10 minutes of readers lives but on the whole, commercialisation just means a band is popular and successful.

This was just after their first single came out

or of course that theyve just been created like 'steps' specifically for commercialisation. C'est-a-dire que Steps were NAY successful, they just licked the arse out of every promotor that came withing 10 miles of them!

thats not what i meant, i'll be more specific, i dont see how a band that earns success through their albums and become more commercial means theyve "sold out"
