you say falser, i say realer - but we are in agreement: the 'realness' here is itself a false construct, a play at down-to-earth authenticity with the swagger of Oasis & the attitude of landfill indie gone slightly-more-bombastic
obviously this music is complete fucking shit

I have seen crowds do a lot worse than be lukewarm in their applause, especially at festivals, guy seems like a bit of a prick tbh.

Tried listening to their latest album (from 2021) and holy fuck. Imagine the worst possible combination of Chromeo and Muse. They're lucky the crowd didn't pelt them with batteries (something I saw happen to a band opening for Slayer once).

The best way to get people to rock is to command them to do so

Saw them open for QOTSA a few years back and thought they were pretty good.
My guess (and it is a guess) is the band got onto a festival filled with electronic, pop, hip-hop, or anything else that is not a "rock band" and made the calculated decision that if they were going to go down with the Titanic, may as well flip off the deck chairs, or whatever.

It was Radio 1, and they were reportedly right between a One Direction guy and Lewis Capaldi, so a young MOR pop leaning crowd.

Hey now, I said they were good! I didn't say they were on par with the Jesus Lizard!
