There aren’t many bands that are this popular and put something as un-commercial but brilliant as Tranquility Base…
Its a massive shame that guitar music has been quashed by manufactured pop for the past 15 years or however long X Factor has been on. I can remember back in the 90s when there was a healthy amount of “real” music still knocking around. The members of Arctic Monkeys may be a bit boring but at least theyre creating decent music.
I think it’s quite nice that someone’s still fighting against the x factor in the name of real music. Like when you read about the Japanese soldiers who continued to fight world war 2 decades after it ended.
I am grateful for the Arctic Monkeys making shitloads of money for Domino so Laurence can finance the next Pastels album/ Geographic release or whatever.
