In the last 9 years bands that have been placed in front of you by the mainstream ALL have common threads,
they all look the same, sound the same....
it seems since 911 and the rise of American Idol and safe ideals we lost our want of ORIGINALITY, CREATIVITY, SIGNATURE SOUND and LOOK.
It seems like the bands that have been pushed in front of our faces these 5 years have all looked the same and sounded identicle, with underground bands struggling. Where is the new Deftones, Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, Korn, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Queen.....????? Bands that had a unique sound and look regardless of race, color or creed.... ?
They just made music that sounded original and no one cared what they looked like. Then enter 911, which was a horrible event but after that date we segment everything, want everything neat, need everything safe and bland Enough time has passed. We can return to art. We can return to originality. We can return to FREEDOM. This email may be misunderstood by some of you....all I am saying is we have changed a lot since 911 where someone like Boyle from "Britains got talent" can outsell everyone out there because it's what is being pushed in your face on television through American Idol, Britain's got talent and the like.
WE NEED TO REBEL and FIND ART! FIND ORIGINALITY! FIND REBELLION! GIVE US MUSIC THAT MEANS SOMETHING AGAIN.... What we are asking you is to REQUEST "I WOULD DESTROY" ON KROQ
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS? REQUEST it on KROQ's MYSPACE for unsigned bands ANYONE IN THE WORLD CAN REQUEST IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK, GERMANY, FRANCE OR KATMANDU!
Write Kat Corbett from your myspace with the subject line of "Dear Kat"
and express to her why you want to hear "I would destroy" on KROQ's locals only!
Why does Shaolin Temple of BooM mean so much to you?
Why do you want to hear this song? A song that sounds like nothing else.....
REQUEST THE FUCK OUT OF IT.
LET'S GET THIS REVOLUTION STARTED.
ALL I AM TRYING TO SAY IS FUCK COMFORMITY
Sincerely,
Your comrade at arms
David Alvarez
