Revelations

Is there no originality in the local music scene anymore?

‘The Revelators – We’ll make them like new’ –
No, you wont.

You’re badly rehashing songs that were trying to rehash songs in an original way. What does that make you?

What’s wrong with singing with an American accent? Mick Jagger and Robert Plant sang with American accents.

I still think the sound exactly like Snow Patrol. And Snow Patrol also did a stop frame vid before. WTF ?!!!

I really don’t understand why people post negative comments about bands on here. Are you guys hoping the bands will read this? And if they did, do you really think they would give a crap what a bunch of anonymous nobodys had to say? Stop wasting your time.

Maybe they feel like they’re original cause they were like, ‘Man, we’ll be the first band in SA to sound just like The White Stripes! Just like them! Imagine that!’

Pushing envelopes!

@Anonymous – so what you are saying is that because you watch them live, your opinion is more relevant? thats pretty pig-headed

oh… and btw, being a musician… we do read these sorts of things, although it must be said that mahala pretty much scrapes the barrel when it comes to a fair opinion of what is good and bad.

It does not matter where the opinion comes from. If someone hears a band online or sees them live, they are still experiencing the band. Online exposure, and consequently, opinion is what generates either love or hate. As a musician, obviously i want people to experience the live show but thats not always going to be the way things work.

and, in person, you’d probably be choking down their cock too much to give honest review.

This post is such a setup – instead of letting people decide for themselves, it starts off suggestively as to who or what this band sounds like, to pre-determine conclusions from those who are waiting on the edge of their keyboards for the opportunity to yet again spit bile over another useless Mahala post/article.

The fact that they do sound like other bands/artists just betrays their influences. So yay. All bands and musicians are influenced, some struggle to find their own sound, and some are still learning to create their own sound. Give them a bloody break, and stop being such whiney bitches. There are far more useless and far more shitty conformist bands than this out there to take down that are doing way more damage to our scene, and as a consequence kill it for the small guys by making vinegar-tits [like the majority of people that read this site] even more piss-mouthed than they already are and keeping them from the clubs. This band is, in effect, a start up. They have a little album or EP or whatever and some buzz, and that’s about it – they still have a long way to go and for the majority, so far, it’s not all that bad.

Let’s all rather agree to crucify bands that are in a position to influence the mindless masses, ala Parlobonerfuckfaces or Prime-rib Circle-jerk, than kill off this (and other) emerging talent, that besides for their obvious flaws, are at least, on a better path than those soulless corporate cockshines. Get in the clubs, show some fucking support and motivate emerging talent to be original.
