2013 Lineup

[Mouseboy11]

How on earth did Iggy Azalea get on this lineup may I ask?

[thelionsmouth]

Their first album is the epitome of generic. I don't think it's possible for them to sell out when they were signed and with regular Radio 1 airplay before they played a gig.

Is she the one who features on one of Steve aoki's tracks?

she seems quite similar to the other Azalea,

[the wonderwhy]

You're right. I didn't mean sell out literally, just in style.

disagree, think their first album was more different and much less generic than the second (i.e. much slower, slightly less heavy (couldn't find word)) . Second one was basically a copy of TDCC and the like.

Horrendous music, she's blatantly just famous for those hips.

The Shakespeare of our generation right there.

Well, this is awkward, because I've been referring to her as 'him' since Monday...

Two Door??

Personally, I like both albums. The first is generic indie, but at least its good generic indie. It was obvious they couldn't carry that on and so they mixed it up on the second (there's much more variety in sounds, especially with Justins vocals). It was a good effort, they just didn't quite get some of the songs right & it kinda spoilt the rest of the album. If anything it was the 'generic indie' ones that let the second album down

[Shootenanny!]

The Vaccines' first album is really good, second one's not bad although certainly not up to the same standard.

Palma Violets sound like The Vaccines without the songs. Their first single was pretty good but everything else I've heard just sounds bland.

Alt-J's album is decent but not nearly enough to justify all the hype.

Still think its extreme that people hate any of them so much though. As has been pointed out, they've just been lucky enough to ride on hype and press coverage which any band would be happy to receive.

[the wonderwhy]

Personally I think Palma Violets recorded an absolute stormer in 'We Found Love'. Its a shame all their other songs are so naff...

[Last Nights Hero]

Hoping All The Young, Dinosaur Pile Up, Killswitch Engage, Sum 41 and Patent Pending all get FR slots, maybe even low-NME.

Way to big surely?

I thought we were all talking about Sum 41 headlining FR like 10 pages back? That's were I took the idea from, thought it was a genuine idea given Feeder and Ash have both played FR recently.

Not sure how big Killswitch are but NME is all that's left so here's hoping.

[the wonderwhy]

Surely they're more likely to headline Lock Up?

[Anderson19]

So since the announcement we have learnt everyone massively loves Editors & nobody likes Alt J.

On Killswitch Engage they could always do main... they are about as big (maybe slightly more popular and reunion with original vocalist has to provide interest) as when they played last time and were about second on main then. Think maybe a slight push up and we could have a Friday like:

Green Day

System of a Down

Deftones

Frank Turner

Bring Me The Horizon

New Found Glory

Killswitch Engage

Tomahawk

While She Sleeps

Looks a good main to me. Nice mix of sounds while still giving a fairly traditional heavy day for main.

Any chance of Boys Like Girls? New album out (albeit a crap one). Would still like to see them live though. Would fit nicely under New Found Glory.
