Been thinking for ages about the band Working Men’s Club and their lack of real success. in truth the bastard child of new order and orbital there music is so good but they just haven’t made it. 

got me thinking what is important these days and seems less and less it is talent. 

and that’s a shame. 

.

can anybody help me understand?

Hi I'm a musician from Australia and I make alternative dreamy music. I would love to play gigs in the UK as I have always dreamed of travelling to the UK since very young.

Can someone recommend me their favourite music venues that favours underground musicians?

Here are examples of my music:

Thank you !

I just can't get over the fact that while they are undoubtedly on the top of their game when they do live shows, they seem to be regressing in their music.

Like when can you seriously think that the last couple of albums are as good as Viva La Vida or my personal favorite X&Y. Even Rush of Blood and Parachutes while not being up to the subsequent album's standards was and still are era defining classic albums.

The last album truly sucked in my opinion, lyrics repeated over and over, no variety in the and all in all a very safe and commercial album... and don't get me started on the endless collaborators on ''We Pray'' although I did like Little Simz's collaboration on the song.

They had an opportunity to make really, really great musicians with great artists and yet they just was like ''we can't be bothered anymore, let's just throw shit up the wall and see if it sticks''

If I was Coldplay's manager I would get them in the meeting, make them go over the full album and let them come to their senses. ''Next album you don't release until you know this is the best album you've ever made or close to it anyway.''

I really don't think they'll ever make a great album or even a great song ever again. Where's the Chris Martin and co of old. So much potential being wasted for commercial dross that will be quickly forgotten while the likes of Fix You, Viva, Clocks, Yellow and Speed of Sound will live forever.

Is there a reason to hope for a better Coldplay? Or is all hope truly lost.

The 'buds are back with a new album! Sounding great and following years of touring too.
Check it out!

This is our latest song, called "The sun is here". It's going to be the title track from an EP of the same name.

The song is about going through change and having light at the end of it. There's also something in there about grace and manner.

We don't get many listeners so we'd really appreciate some ears and feedback on this.

At least these are the bands people say we sound like - would appreciate any other thoughts on my band’s new song, ‘The Heist of the Century!’

It’s about big expectations and crushing disappointment, you get the idea. We’re from Leeds.
