She Wants Revenge

Anyone else digging these guys? They're kind of a ripoff of New Order/Joy Division...but they're a GOOD ripoff of New Order/Joy Division. I love the album cover of their self-titled CD--brazenly sexy (even if I do have a prejudice against women who wear white panties).

That's a very good description that can fit a lot of new acts . . . they're kind of a ripoff . . . but they're a GOOD ripoff.

it's too late to be original; everything has already been done in one form or another

I was going to start a thread on how just about every band I hear these days sounds like Joy Division. lol This is just the impression I get from watching MTV2 sometimes.

This is so true and something I think way too much about in fact. I wonder what "new" sounds like, or if it doesn't even exist anymore. hmmm I choose the latter.

there is plenty of creativity in terms of songwriting, production, etc. But stylistically, I think we've reached the threshhold. We probably reached it years ago.

Going forward, it's all taking existing templates and being creative within those frameworks.

but who knows... maybe there is a new style out there that hasn't been discovered yet smile
