You may have noticed that the rap/commercial hiphop industry isn’t what it used to be, sales are dropping.
Sach O at ohword.com wrote a great article about it, saying that most rappers are ego-tripping douchebags.
That has a great effect on the rock industry, meaning that a lot of fresh and innovative rock bands get the opportunity to actually sell records.
Out of the dozens of new rock/symphonic bands, there are only a few that have what it takes to be an all-around successful band.
I myself really like the Cold War Kids. They have a sort of overly dramatized lyrical approach, while lurching rythms and raw guitars lay over the eccentric vocals of Nathan Willet. There, I’ve said it.
Robbers & Cowards is a great album and so is the video for the single “Hospital Beds”, so check it out and don’t forget to buy the album.
