Long Island has been the home of popular bands that have made it big such as, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Envy On The Coast, Straylight Run, Nightmare of You, Glassjaw, and Bayside. It has been years since Long Island has had a successful artist make it big and headline US tours. The closest we have is Stereo Skyline, who doesn't even play their instruments live anymore. Seriously!? What are you too big for a Long Island crowd when the next state over has no idea who you are?
Bands like this don't deserve anything. Their moms pay for their equipment and advertising space across the internet. They pay thousands of dollars for a good producer that will actually make their catchy four chord songs sound good. Get over yourself, you have bad hair and no one wants to listen to that. Don't wear girl's jeans, big white sunglasses, straightened hair and call yourself a man!
Bands like these come and go and could "get signed" to a label, but at the end of the day you will be back where you started... playing the Vibe Lounge in Rockville Center for 10 little girls who only come because you wrote on their facebook wall. Not to mention crappy sound technicians who don't want to be there DOING THEIR JOBS!
Why Is Anybody Listening!?
