After nearly two decades of the music industry pulling the wool over our eyes with below-average bands that are promoted as the ‘next big thing’, have fans finally grown tired of stardom-entitled musicians?
People seemed to ignore the impressive gong the drummer had behind his kit. They should have hit that baby sooner, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.Full disclosure, I am not familiar with Royal Blood and don’t know whether they got a record deal after a homemade video of the entire band playing a song on one banjo went viral. Perhaps they did things the hard way and actually wrote the music before building up a following by relentlessly gigging in small clubs until EMI came knocking. Whatever.
Maybe I am wrong, but if an audience isn’t ‘into it’, the problem lies with the band. Just ask Lil’ Wayne who threw a lil’ tantrum when his performance wasn’t met with a bra-throwing storm.
