JAMES JAM YOU FUCKIN COCK JOCKEY
Referring to your advice on “how to get your band noticed” in 21st April issue. Who is interested in what you think bands should sound or look like? Just the fact that you ARE telling us what we should sound and look like shows what a sad world we live in. Flicking through the NME says enough; All bands that make it in there are almost indistinguishable from each other both musically and visually and in 90% of the cases their names start with “we are”. How original and different.
What’s the point in wearing stupid costumes and wigs and makeup, or having the most ridiculous fucking band name ever if every fucker does the same because they’re all just desperate to get a mention in this soggy piece of shit paper. Come on, it’s all been done before, the Horror’s hairstyles just rip off the Cure and the whole nerdy weird thing was done by Devo in the 80s. Stripy tights and safety pins were the latest thing in about 1976. Surely you must know that none of this is new or exciting. I’m not saying punk is shit, because I love it. But why pretend it’s the newest fucking thing when it’s 30 years old???
I play in a Punk band and we know what we’re doing has been done before in some shape or form and would not pretend it hasn’t - we just want to get on and play our music.
There are plenty of brilliant new bands out there, who you will never even notice because they don’t conform Image Nazis like you and who are actually pretty amazing musicians/ songwriters/ performers. Not that this would interest you. By the way, you will be glad to hear that you won’t be receiving our demo CD, just so you don’t have to go through the immense effort of listening to ANOTHER new band, you poor sod.
Yours sincerely,
Manky Pasty, Cardiff
