Nekromantix 'Not Impressed' With Current Crop Of Bands

The Danish band throw their two cents into the originality debate

The lead singer for psychobilly band Nekromantix has told theMusic.com.au there aren't a lot of original bands coming up in the industry.

Kim Necroman was frank in a recent interview when asked if there were any new artists he was excited about.

“Umm, to be honest, not lately. I really, really think that lately it seems a lot of the [new] bands are trying to copy something that's already out there and been done. I don't hear too much original stuff out there, which is a shame. So, I'm sad to say that at the moment, I can't really come up with anything I've heard lately that blows my socks off.”

The Danish native said the internet was a major reason why there is a shortage of originality coming through the ranks.

“I think the Internet and all that online stuff is both a blessing and a curse because a lot of the bands don't really have to fight to get out there. They think they can just put stuff on Facebook or MySpace or whatever site and then land a deal, but that's not how it works. Now there's even more bands, so even though you have the exposure that can pull in the people, you have to be different and exciting.”
