So, I have been thinking about writing a music blog for awhile. I know there are ton of them out there and most of them really suck. Hopefully mine won't but honestly, it is just for me to vent and hopefully make a few friends laugh.
I finally got motivated to start writing after watching the new Kings of Leon video, "Radioactive", from their forthcoming album, Come Around Sundown.
When I talk about consistently music disappointing me these guys could be exhibit A.
They fluffed me for years with songs like "Trani" and "McFearless". Songs so good and so different that I thought they might be the next truly great rock and roll band.
They had a following in Europe that would support them financially while they slowly built a loyal fanbase in the US by making interesting and different music with deep roots in what I believe to be true rock and roll.
As it turns out they were as contrived as their back story and this steaming road apple of a song and video finally put them away for life. Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of perpetrating a fraud that I just can't forgive.
****TO BE CONTINUED...
