have any of you noticed that certain artists and bands from genres such as "the 80's" and "grunge" are jumping on the bandwagon and releasing new material?
Soft Cell were on TOTP2 last night, and i remember that mudhoney released another album
erasure are coming back human league etc etc etc
i think that it's pathetic they're just trying to cash in

everyones trying to cash in and NO one is doing anything NEW
grunge was a lame name for PUNK done by pussies -
i personally hate this whiney rock n blah stuff - where the guys cry about how horrible life is - or how much they love their purple sheets - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
no one is putting balls or heart in music anymore - well minus celine dion

*rolls his eyes* Soft Cell are NOT cashing in! they declined to being part of a 'revival' tour with other 80's groups. They got back together because they had music to put out. Erasure never even stopped making music!

ahh, ok
thanks :)
it's just that it seems as though they are, because we're still in the 80's revival thing
it's being reflected in the chart music at the moment, with lots of use of vintage synth sounds

Actually, I might be wrong. I only watched 5 seconds of it before turning over. But as far as I know TOTP2 stopped showing highlights from recent TOTP shows and only does stuff ten years back or more

At this rate we'll probably have a 00's revival before the 00's are over...

i personally dont see how soft cell are as you put it "jumping on a bandwagon", what bandwagon exactly by the way??
if they want to release new music and have so and so artist remix them, then why not? but excatly whose music do you feel they are trying to copy?? fischerspooner perhaps??

soft cell did torch on totp2 - thats from 1982 isn't it? but they do have a new album & single out so why they chose to do an old number i have no idea
the new erasure song is shit, they shouldve given up a long time ago, circus /wild / innocents are decent albums
