Problem is I despise all of those, lol. I have to listen to the same 2 or 3 songs by each band over and over because I work in a place that only gets radio coverage from two stations, both of which just play the same dullard, soulless slush again and again. There's plenty of better bands, but they don't conform to;
A.) Coddling the masses with endless songs about love and loss
B.)Involve black people talking about how much money they have/how many women they have sex with
C.) I'm so over my ex-partner, so I'm writing a song about them to prove it
Bands that in my opinion are far better than the generic radio crap, and are British;
You Me At Six
Glamour of the Kill (Seen them live on their Summoning tour, I wish I could see them again)
Asking Alexandria
Funeral For A Friend
We Are The Ocean
Unfortunately it seems hardly anyone has heard of them. We Are The Ocean only recently became famous with their latest album, despite it being their second album, and overall fourth record (two extended plays and an album).
It doesn't help that I prefer heavier music, which means most radio stations won't play it anyway because it's offensive. Yet they play r&b songs about getting drunk and fucking people, because it's not written in that form, and the main target audience is comprised of idiots.
