New Rock'N'Roll swindle

Hi All,

I thought this one really deserved a topic in the Biz section.

The Alarm (a band started in the 80's), made an impressive comeback to the UK charts by releasing their new single under the name of Popyfields, a supposed new teen punk band.

Hey Didier

Teens are a lot more mature than they used to be.... ::)

I have to say I wasn't much of a fan the first time round. The Stranglers were more my pace. Sitting on the beaches, lookin' at the peaches...

;D

Cheers

John

I was myself only remotely aware of The Alarm. But I have the feeling this story tells a lot about the music industry.

Desparate? Any for a buck? No idea about how to get out the vacuum they've created? They're gullable? They still think they can treat fans like shit? All of the above?

Sad, but a bit too close to the truth. :-/

Cheers
