I've heard countless bands who have been around for a while talk about how hard times are now for music in general and new talent coming through. And new bands are the best source because they are the ones trying to get somewhere in the current climate, they are going to know better than anyone...
There is also the fact that record labels at the moment are taking less risks with music and are signing less bands because they need to be sure they will make a net profit on whoever they do due to the economic difficulties at the moment. There are a magnitude of bands now actually leaving...
I hadn't actually read your review of it and I wasn't naming any names in particular. That was actually a fair review, I can see where you are coming from with it, perhaps there were more flaws than I noticed on my first watch. However, you implied right at the start that those who did like it...
Yes you have a point, I just sometimes cannot see how people could possibly dislike certain films, I mean TDKR wasn't perfect and it certainly wasn't the best of the trilogy but it still blew me away. But then I guess different people see different things in films, but I do sometimes get the...
I know exactly what you mean, I've been in those very situations with my band. I've lost count of the number of times we've had to play to empty rooms usually because the promoters who put the gigs on don't know what publishing is and couldn't hype a gig up to save their lives. It got so bad...
Yep I agree, there does need to be more of a community spirit but here in Manchester its practically non-existent, there is no music scene to speak off. I think the attitudes of other bands we've come across and particularly the attitudes of promoters have tainted our view of bands working...
I knew you would say that haha. It was hardly a HEY LOOK EVERYONE I KNOW FILMS LOTS review, it was just a amateur run down of its good and bad points and I think it was fair, especially given the amount of slack its got at the moment. My problem comes when people take a perfectly good film and...
Oh yeh its only after we started using youtube and facebook that our popularity started to increase, we've been making these epic videos using DIY tactics, using post-grads with the abilities and hiring out the equipment required. Its literally all you can do now, basically shout louder than all...
You are right but that's why I look via other avenues like support acts for gigs. I am certain there are many great new bands appearing in the UK, the problem is they are just not getting the coverage they deserve and they are hard to find. Its staggering when I come across an insanely good band...
The Bourne Legacy - 7/10
Pretty good film though not as good as the Matt Damon films. It takes on a completely different style and tone and one could argue that it is much darker than the original trilogy, delving much deeper into the dirty little secrets and projects of the CIA. I like Renner...
Considering that most radio stations are a pile of shit in the UK I tend to come across all new bands by going to gigs of bands I already like and watching the support acts. Sometimes you come across a few gems but on the most part, they are very average. There is a distinct lack of good new...
