Yeh, Don't get me wrong I loved Aha Shake Heartbreak, I thought that was a great album but then they sold themselves out with Sex On Fire and Use Somebody and still wonder why they get such rubbish crowds at their festival shows. Then you get people like some of my mates who claim to be "Obsessed" with Kings of Leon when they only know those two tunes.

They were digging their own grave with those 2 songs tbh.

My ha'pence worth. I dont particularly like their music but I do like them and their style and approach and way they have got to where they are today. I for one would head to see them if it was possible. I think they are f**king hilarious.

Record sales mean absolutely nothing when it comes down to talented songwriters. It's always the lesser known bands that write the best material, although some big bands are great.

Pavement, The Breeders, Pixies, The Fall, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth and many others trump all over most of the big bands in terms of musical credibility, influence and talented songwiting. In my opinion it doesn't matter how talented an artist is or how many record sales they have achieved, all it comes down to is wether they write good music.

Apologies if I come across as a bit of a hipster in this post but I just want to prove a point

I'm with Lucy on this. I'd definitley head to see them - I think they are funny, and kind of interesting in a "how yoofs think" kind of way.

I love the image I get in my head oof him looking all over facebook for this girl. In the old days, tunes used to talk about searching all over town (or even all over the world) and I'd have an image of seriously frantic, desperate search for the girl of their dreams. With Ndubz I can just see this kid on a computer with his chin resting on his hand, just going click, click, click, "Nah forget it man!"

I got tickets for my stepson to go & see them next week because he loves them (17 year old chavmeister that he is!) & I'd go too if it wasn't for the fact that I cannot think of anything that would make me feel older! They are a seriously young people's band - that doesn't mean all young people will like them - but really - if you're over 20, don't waste any energy not liking them - they're not for you! Glastonbury would be perfect to catch them!

    • Currently obsessed with Slayyyter, but not sure either she would be a headliner ? Although in august 2024 Chappel Roan was at the same point : a breakout set at Coachella, a first appearance on a late night talk show in june, an incredible crowd at lollapalooza, numbers going up along the buzz. So who knows ?! 
    • Is she any bigger than last time? Still firmly a sub for me. Not sure the interest would be as strong for her headlining.
