PUBLICITY PUPPETS

 

It's really rather embarrassing when bands find themselves in a position of having to give press conferences to mainstream media outlets.

This has been brought about by the musicians surrendering any dignity they had, to their handlers.

You know, the record industry who take control of musicians for them to be put through the industry money-making machine, where the more publicity there is, the more dosh there is to be made.

Really shallow stuff, and nothing to do with creating music of course.

So off the band go, doing the media biz rounds, everybody involved pretending it's all important.

Old punk bands used to hate superstar bands who indulged in such antics, but some punk bands caved in under the pressure too and ended up doing what they once said they hated.
