Chvrches - "Now is Not The Time"

The Blog Sound of 2013 Is A Bit Sad Again.

OMFG, we're all doomed. Look, it's "The Blog Sound of 2013" & it makes the BBC's "Sound Of 2013" look like the most eclectic and exciting list of bands you're ever likely to see.

Again.

They claim it's not in competition to the BBC one, and fair play to them for that, but they could at least have tried to mix it up a bit by not approaching exclusively the same old blogs who big up the exact same stuff as each other every day of every year. Fuck me, we all could've predicted this list couldn't we? Surely?

I dunno why so many people like the same bland naff shit. Jeez. I mean, there's so much ace stuff out there if you go looking for it properly not just by waiting to hear from PR's and by reading each others blogs. If I hadn't developed such a thick skin to all this bullshit by now I'd find it well depressing.

"Agh Agh" I say, and "Ack Ack".

Nudder thing - guess what? Holy schmoke, it's only once again exclusively WHITE and woah, guess also what, it's only an exclusively MONO GENRE list again.

Who'd ah tunk it?

The best thing is that I can see em now all being chuffed at how they've chosen more female than male fronted bands (the best thing?) despite the fact that I'm sure they know that that shouldn't be a noteworthy thing worth commenting on, that should just BE a thing not worth commenting on. 

Oh, and another thing, worth noting that all these bands have PR machines that have been battering away at my (Louder Than War) door all fucking year. Probably not the place for this but there's a reason that I make a point of prioritising any bands or small labels who approach me directly rather than going through a PR. And one day I'll spell it all out to ya but it pisses me off big time that 99% of emails I get are from PR's. Why do bands / artists so rarely approach me (us)? Is it coz most websites usually never give bands the time of day so bands never approach us coz they assume we won't respond?

For your listening (dis)pleasure I've embedded tracks from the five winners (ripped from the blog I saw the list on first) you may listen to em & shudder if you wish. I embed with apologies to people who like exciting music everywhere.
