I agree completely. Me and my friends have been running a band for over a year now, and we are far better than all this pop crap. We have written over ten songs, including some which we dumped later because we got better. We had to save up for our equipment and have already gone through two singers and only just got a bassist. We have rival bands who boast they have 15 songs, but theyre all covers! We do covers in spare 5 mins in rehearshals. We have worked and continue to work to refine our music an beat that ****e. By the way, u might like a band that i like, they go by the name of Pop Will Eat Itself...
