bands faking genre?
Well seeing as im on a roll thought i would start a new thread..
Do you think bands change there style of music to fit in with whats cool at the mo...or do you think they were always playing that style of music?
For example....right now the kind of guitar mixed with 80s vocals is very "in" and suddenly there are loads of bands (all getting signed may i add!) that play music like this!!
Now surely they cant have always been playing stuff like this and it just happens so were loads of others but then again.... im sure they cant just change their style overnight to fit in...
what dyou reckon!??

then turned up the emo-ish style for the second
kinda anyway...would that count as trend following ?
Re: bands faking genre?
But then, yeah, sometimes people are influenced by or even blatantly copy to try and get signed, which is worse.
Re: bands faking genre?
that kinda thing happens a lot too.

snow patrol
stereophonics (latest song)
athlete (goodbye lovely synths...hello piano)
now i know they havent radically changed their styles...but enough i think.... admittedly it kinds also feels like maybe they just got better a writing a song.
Im not saying its bad to become better at writing songs.... its more the amount of band sthat suddenly appear .....like hundreds of the bastards!!!!

I have to admit, I like some of the departure's stuff. I think it's more the labels that bandwagon jump, rather than bands themselves. People like the departure just get signed in about 2 seconds because they know it will sell.
