Potty training puppies is something you have do do. Listening to every new band is something you choose to do.
Face it, new bands are like buses, there’s always another one coming along and a lot of them are going in the same direction and a person can get bored with music.
Starting a band is easy. Being original is not. So many bands remind us of others the minute you hear the first chord. Even group names can reflect attitudes that can brand a band.
I realize all of today’s major acts started by ‘borrowing’ from their influences. However, they took what they wanted/needed and molded it into their own sound. That’s what today’s and tomorrow’s bands need to do.
