The music press knows nothing about post-punk. They were too busy ignoring
it!

For there to be a new millenial clone band of Killing Joke's first
album -- that would mean that Killing Joke would have to be cited (and
summarily respected) by the music press for their legitimate place in UK
post-punk alongside PiL, Gang of Four, the Pop Group, etc. Unfortunately,
most quarters of the music press wrongly lump the `Joke in with either metal
or industrial or goth or whomever and would rather writes volumes about
Young Marble Giants and Scritti Pollitti.

After all these Joy Division/gang of 4 "inspired" groups, How long till
there's a 1st Album Killing Joke clone group that's what I want to know
It's like in the 1960 when you got all these British groups doing
rubbish covers of Muddy Waters songs and called brilliant and selling loads
because everyones too lazy to check out the orginals...

The weird thing is, I've been obsessed with the post-punk era for a
long time now & it's close to my heart - you'd have thought I'd be happy to
hear all these bands trying to sound like JD, Bunnymen, etc, etc. But
really, I couldn't be more unimpressed/angry! Just hope someone will go buy
Unknown Pleasures off the back of some sh!tty Editors/Interpol
post-punk-by-numbers tripe.

While I actually like that Futureheads, Ade's right about most of
these bands -- they're mostly "the odd good moment," but absolutely no
staying power.

I quite like the odd Kasabian tune, though I've not listened at
length yet. They do a convincing effort at StoneRoses/Primals. I heard that
Futureheads sh!t-stain cover of Hounds of Love & just fukkin' *KNEW* I'd
hate them forever. And the Bravery.
I think the majority of these bands are doing the exact same thing -
embarassing & tiresome rip-offs with the odd good moment...

iPod the other week.

While we are on the subject of new bands... I listened to the
Futueheads CD quite a few months ago and it really didn't do anything for
me. Then I saw them support the Pixies and thought they were really good
live and since the CD has really warmed on me.
