Can pop music get any worse than Hero & Leander?

"I mean, really when you see stuff like this, you just think, "Why do I even bother getting out of fucking bed in the morning?"

funny, for me it's when I see people shitting on a perfectly amiable band with 1,000 YouTube hits for absolutely no reason and making it some kind of moral crusade that I wonder why I bother getting up.

That's all fair comment, except, a belligerent and sarcastic post in Rolling Worst Music and here, hardly amounts to a moral crusade.

I genuinely - no word of a lie - expected there to be consensus on how bad this band are. Now that I can see some people are getting really upset about this, I'm going to let it lie. Apologies, I didn't mean to offend anyone.

It's so milquetoast that I don't see all that much to get genuinely worked up about, they have a non-starter school band or stage school vibe which provokes a bit of remove imo.

this band is basically Cud, right?

as in food for cows?

never going to knowingly hear a my vitriol song, sorry nakhers

i listened to the first minute of it -- this, basically:

aren't MV trying for something a little more aggressive than that

they may be trying for it, but that is what it comes across as IMO

cold

yorkies yap like nobody's fucken business

shitty nu-emo wank and the vocal pronouncements of a yorkshire terrier fill a somewhat similar holistic bracket for me

^^ which means i am otm

you will have been

don't nultify my achievement nakh!

The De La cover sounds like The Kane Gang or Hue & Cry or Curiosity Killed The Cat - is somebody really wanting that??

OK, I've not played any of these, I'm sure they are fair to middling stuff that will get no traction except for this kind of publicity...

Except that SOMEBODY POSTED A VIDEO OF "THE HARD!" Yeah!!!!!

xp
no

― katherine,

Listen to their cover of Me Myself & I and then say that.

Was there an ilx thread where people discussed the relationship between Innocent Smoothies style 21st century twee indie and Mondeo Pop?

There is a bit of overlap isn't there, I think it started with 'Lovefool'.

is mondeo pop after the 80s yuppie sophistipop or the same thing with a different name?

damn i hear much worse music every day on television, shopping, etc.

I'm sorry to hear that.

If I heard that on the subway I would smile for a second or two. I feel like this is not an uncommon reaction. And I don't think I'm wrong for having it. Sorry.

the track on this advert is worse than hero and leander

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh0Jq680aZM

The soundtrack to ‘Reasons To Be Cheerful’ is inspired by Ian Drury’s iconic hit from the 70’s and is updated by Sense, a UK rapper. The ad uses people of Britain to inform the creative and follows the best things about being British.

If it got played on the subway there might be a lot of suicides

I don't know, I guess I'm lacking whichever acquired taste or which coolness gene makes "pleasant, absolutely nothing dislikable" code as "THE WORST THING EVER."

These people are good musicians. That's as far as I'm willing to go.

The female singer has a nice voice but the songs are annoying.

Plus how can a small student band afford to make videos , employ pr and get a review on AMG? It has all the hallmarks of a label like domino stagemanaging everything.

the video i watched was recorded on an iphone? idk how amg works, you will have to ask ned, but sure as fuck if domino or anyone like that was running some sinister sub rosa scheme to get hero and leander to rule the world, they would be doing a better job of it

why are hero and leander worse than all of those shitty bands in the primal scream / stone roses copyists thread?

because ive heard hero & leander?

then you haven't done your due diligence, if you want to answer the question you asked

http://soundcloud.com/modernfaces

why are you defending hero & leander?

this seems like every other shitty band that ilx would clown, ۩

i described Modern Faces as a great English rock and roll band on one of their Youtubes and did get so much as a "fuck off", really don't think anybody cares about any of this shit

works, yeah

vauxhall ad makes it seem like a terrible, terrible country

not half as bad as that ras trent video though

also thank you for suggesting i watch something that did not improve my day

dean contz

adam, what do you think of clint the pig?

43 seconds of hurt, it's not like you couldn't do yourself a lot more damage in that time than watch a vile advert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By_gUAd-r5c

if that's clint the pig, then i think nothing but good thoughts. waddle waddle.

i'm worried about the dog though. looks bitey.

do you think there is any sort of abject quality to that film?

maybe a paradisiac undercurrent, all fauna reduced to a single plane of transcendence, clints become fausts become clints, waddling in elysium never to want for a single thing?

the last few seconds suggest some sort of panic is overcoming faust? a jouissance is abundant, soon he will gave way to bestial urges and paradise ends for faust, and for clint too

Exactly what i was going to say

trying to remember what hero and leander were and what they were about

Deutschland we love you!

We love you as much as chimpanzees love football. So we’re coming back to see you this Saturday for the Lothringair festival, in Germany’s belly button – that’s Aachen, pub-quiz fans. I’ll be wearing the same trousers that I wore there last year, because, shit, it’s 2014, the flowers are coming, I might win the lottery one day and I really like this pair of trousers. Also on the bill are Carlson, who we love more than the moon loves the sea. Check them out here. See you on Saturday. Ours is a double gin and cider X
