Bands such as....?

If its the NME type bands I expect you to say due to ure display pic, for example the killers, then I must ask what the hell they contribute to a thriving and interesting scene? other than another clumsy, soul-less, bland sing-a-long for people who don't really understand the traditional ethos behind rock music.

Bands have such pretentious images, I'm thinking the Strokes and their constant Malboro endorsement. Its almost them reaching out to try and seem like their physchadelic era predeccessors. Saying that the Strokes write some ok songs, as do Franz Ferdinand.
