XXP: Razorlight being taken seriously in the UK as front cover stars/fit to play above Slayer on the main stage of Reading Festival, is entirely down to the preternaturally persuasive campaign launched by a husband wife/ manager PR team, so it's skill rather than size I think.
Also with Florence I can confirm her PR team was formidable. We got bollocked by them. One of their own team got threatened with the axe after he publicly endorsed our (slightly snide and misjudged by me) article on her. The whole experience felt like abseiling into a volcano.
PR people in America can be quite bracing especially if you're talking about classic rock but that said, Ken Weinstein at Q Prime for Metallica was a sweetheart. Nothing compares to some German metal labels however, who in past have made anonymous phone calls to me with voice disguising technology in the middle of the night to tell me that my career was over because of a mocking review.
Also, see Django Django, Crystal Castles, Alt J, Everything Everything etc etc. The horse trading you're supposed to indulge in to even get near to these bands is deeply unpleasant.
The majority of PR people in the UK are ace though. I'm sure I've got more social friends who are PRs than journalists. A really good PR is better for the artist than a mediocre writer. IMHO.

haha the multiple stories about florence's heavy-handed PR. i guess editors are on the receiving end of that more than writers, worst i've had to deal with are a few overly stern ones
being nice is a way more effective PR strategy ime (though it's still a PR strategy! i have thought, well, that act that a lot of critics seem to like inexplicably, their PR is a really genuinely lovely guy, hmmm)
― lex pretend, Saturday, 22 December 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I don't cover bands if the PR tries to play hardball with us or indulge in horsetrading as a matter of principle but if the PR person is nice/ funny/ whatever, that can persuade me to go back for an extra few listens.
You've got to know what you're doing though. PR is a dark art. A one man, neo nazi punk rock band sent me a fiver with his cassette. I wrote back thanking him and said that I'd passed his details on to the police and a prominent Anti Nazi magazine. He then self released two singles, 'We Hate You John Doran' and 'Why Don't You Stick This Album Up Your Arse You Sarcastic Creep'. When I gave them bad reviews in Metal Hammer he went mad and attacked his neighbour with a Samurai sword, breaking his arm. He remains, to this day in a secure psychiatric ward unfit to plead. But he had phone privileges for the first year. Which is why Metal Hammer received a death threat for me at 9pm every night for over 300 days.
I think it's good to have an exit strategy when you decide to take a more unorthodox angry PR style with people.
― Doran, Saturday, 22 December 2012 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
I realize Germany and Japan were allies and all, but is a samurai sword really an appropriate weapon for a neo-nazi?

He didn't strike me as particularly bright - or like a man who had aesthetic criteria when it came to choosing weaponry. I kept some of the death threats he sent to me on cassette... he raps on some of them. I found them dead funny until the sword business. Then it was like, 'Right then Mr Fancy Pants media guy in Chattering Class London, taking on the authentic voice of the streets of Portsmouth are we? Not on my watch.'

how so?
tbh it seems like britishers are always the most vocal to boost female rappers like that lately. i was in england for a couple months earlier this year and it seemed like folks were way more jazzed about, like, azealia banks there than here, even years ago trina's singles seemed to pop more over there than america. feel free to prove me wrong on this, i don't know shit

Yeah, Trina was popular but never huge. The difference between Kim's time and now is more than one female rapper was allowed to be on the radio.

trina's uk chart positions are very kind to her if anything, i don't remember her being a thing here at any point outside of my own immediate orbit
as for kim i think a lot more people in the uk know who she is than could name or sing any of her songs ("lighters up" is oddly the one people always seem to hit on first)
The difference between Kim's time and now is more than one female rapper was allowed to be on the radio.
this one-female-rapper-at-a-time thing is a bit of a myth imo (one designed to KEEP FEMALE RAPPERS DOWN) - i was talking to iggy azalea the other week and we were both like, hang on, this has never actually been true, missy/eve/kim/trina/remy ma and prob a few more were all concurrent-to-overlapping

Let's go back to the early aughts and look at Good Charlotte. I can't explain their sudden rise to prominence through any other means besides [killer PR] a bunch of hooky, memorable singles.
True for anyone. Nobody is going to say something is good unless they personally like it.
The sense of value judgement about acts who have bigger PR teams is just ancient bullshit IMO. It's not a dark art of mind control or some shit.

nah Rev was saying that there USED to be more than one female rapper in the mainstream spotlight at once in the days of Missy and Kim and Eve and so on, but in the era of Nicki (and the 5 years before her that nobody female was really poppin') it feels like there's not as much room being made for multiple stars.
― fanute me or shoot me (some dude), Sunday, 23 December 2012 12:08 (eleven years ago) link
Music industry economics really, why bother with multiple stars, who are expensive and risky, when you can take one surefire bankable one and throw all your ideas at them? See also Rihanna. And I don't think anyone from the late 90s/early 00s had the sort of ridiculous workrate of those two.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 23 December 2012 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
well there are still as many rap stars as ever, this is about all but one being male instead of all but a handful
― fanute me or shoot me (some dude), Sunday, 23 December 2012 12:52 (eleven years ago) link
Well yeah there's the institutional sexism thing as well, in that the music business is prepared to invest and support multiple male rappers and even let some of them do it on their own terms. But I can't envisage them really bothering with a female rapper who they couldn't simultaneously push as a mainstream pop star, and Nicki is really canny and supremely good at her own positioning. But it's virtually impossible to imagine a female Rick Ross existing or succeeding.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 23 December 2012 13:05 (eleven years ago) link
true. a lot of the female rappers trying to get in the door have pop star ambitions just as overt as Nicki's though. a "female Rick Ross" (has any phrase ever had such disturbing connotations?) could happen, but gangsta type female MCs never had a big presence to begin with.
