WHERE IS THE 2008 SOUND
is the Rhino being cynical or does every new piece of music you hear on the radio sound familiar? Granted, most music heard on commercial radio stations is made to fit a formula. Wether it is easy listning or contemorary or whatever there is a blueprint the artist must fit to be played on the radio.
The large record companies have these formulas down pat. They even have teams that come in and build that formula into any new talent the A&R man brings in. By now listners are growing weary of rumaging through all the mediocrity in the internet "piles" of indepent music at the indepent music sites. The good stuff (like the Rhinos music lol) is burried under much rubish.
Excavation in these musical piles often brings in some unique sounds but has anyone heard what could be classified the sound of the new century? It has been the Rock, British invasion, Disco, Punk, Grunge, Singer songwritter. Now it all seems to Neo the preceding.
If you have any idea what the new sound is let us know.
