Can pop music get any worse than Hero & Leander?

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

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.

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

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

"didn't get"

if doran is seriously interested in pursuing the idea that some shit music is for whatever reason objectively worse than all the rest of the shit music then he could use this neglected old thread

hi music journalists, what are the worst albums you have ever heard?

as per my other post itt their album is on a label called Tapete which I think is German, and is neither a Domino-sized indie behemoth nor a bedroom CDR operation

lol Lloyd Cole is on Tapete

weird that anyone considers this "pop" music really, this is so far below the radar

?? we're doing "pop" vs "popular"??? in 2013????

the sum total of the invective is like, 5 people going "this sucks"

no I mean like aesthetically this bears no resemblance to the formal characteristics of current pop music

AND it isn't popular

i dunno, "pop" is just rock-derived music that doesn't rock, in some senses

otherwise what tag wd you put on this?

this thread? #there's no such thing as bad publictiy

we should let the lex decide on whether this band are bad or not

i'm doing it i'm going in.

I'm so glad this garbage isn't popular.

xp eh. slightly shittier kasabian isn't very interesting.

feathercut indie isn't for actual listening to tbf

I know I sound self-righteous here, but what about the millions of people who do actually enjoy listening to this stuff? There are a lot of these people. And I'm sure they are valid as people.
