Normally I just ignore bands like these and let them get on with it but some of the utter tripe these guys have been saying about themselves recently makes them deserving of any and all criticism that can possibly be thrown their way. It's absolutely fine if you are in a brutal band - most are. Like all vocations in life some people have the talent others don't but what makes these guys infuriating is the fact that they obviously took a leaf out of the Oasis 'how to become famous' tips book and have equated mouthing off about your talent with actually posessing it. It has to be said this is a peculiarly English phenomenon (I appreciate there are also Swedish members) where there seems to an endless supply of bands telling you about how brilliant they are while their music is trite, formulaic, boring and empty. The typical lyrics of these bands including Razorlight are the sort you look back at from your early teens and cringe over. We live in an appallingly unjust world where humility is sadly missing from a lot of puffed up self absorbed people's personalities. Why oh why does it have to be missing the most from the people with the least amount to brag about? Vacuous and nauseatingly dull, the return of shallow coked up rock bands is not what the world needs right now as we face the fact that the turn of the century has heralded nothing but more wars and environmental destruction. You can say it's just another rock band. Yeah but everytime we validate these acts as our most popular cultural representatives we are individually in our own small way giving our vote to the cursory mindless selfishness entrenched deep in our societies that has to be eradicated before we can make any sort of inroads into improving our planet. Avoid this pack like the plague.
