My take on new bands

        Hello everyone. I know I've been on a bit of a hiatus, but that's because I needed to take a break to try to find good topics to write about. One thing that has come up recently is people have asked me my opinion on new bands. The reason being because I'm an old school rock and metal fan, so most people are curious as to what I think about upcoming bands or even bands that may have been around a few years, but would be considered new to me. So today I'm just gonna talk about my opinion on new bands.
       

        Now first off, please be aware that I am in no way talking bad about newer bands. Every band works hard and does their best, and may have a big fan base. This is just how I feel about them. I'm not gonna rant and say they suck and you're a loser for listening to them. But rather share how and why i feel a certain way.
    So I get a ton of recommendations of bands to listen to. Either bands that are considered new to me, or upcoming bands trying to build a fan base. I will pick one song from each band and listen for about a minute. That usually is enough to give me some lyrics and the chorus. I'll usually listen to a few bands at a time, but I tend to notice something strange. To me, they all sound the same. Like, they're all different bands, with different styles and different singers, but their songs sound the same.
      Like whenever I listen to the radio, let's say Sirius Octane as an example, they'll play a song and I'm like okay cool. Then they'll play the next song, and honestly, if they didn't mention it was by a different artist, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. This is more with the instrumental stuff and less of the singing. I'm not gonna say a rap song sounds like a normal singing song. But this includes guitar work, and drums as well.
      I'm not saying it's a problem, I just find it strange. I know it takes a band awhile to find their sound and what they want to produce, it's all a big journey. It's just hard to differentiate between bands sometimes as a result. But there have been a few times where I'll find an upcoming band that has a totally different sound from most, which can be refreshing.

    But like I said before I started, I'm not hating on anyone or anything. I just wanted to share my opinion on this subject. I would also love to hear your take on it. So feel free to leave a comment or hit me up on twitter @fozzydeth. I'll have more posts coming soon. Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day!
