Muse and Silverchair are both one of my favourite bands. They’ve both released 5 studio albums. I remember when Young Modern came out. There were cries of “sell outs”, “jumped the shark”, “its too poppy!”, “where is the old silverchair?”, etc.
Now that “The Resistance” is to hit tomorrow, I’m hearing cries of “lol, silly!”, “poppy”, “where is the old OOS muse?”, etc.
It was a lazy sunday afternoon in the barren countryside. I was lazying in front of the TV after a family feast. Bored, I switched to the blues music channel. I had an epiphany. It was so good. I had to get myself some more blues. Not being entirely familiar with the genre, I decided to go at it through more modern bands, in the form of garage blues. I got myself the latest Black Keys album (Attack and Release). So being a newly converted garage blues fan, I was happy to hear that The Pretty Blue Guns, a local band, from Stellenbosch, South Africa, were to release an album.
