Is anyone else as bored as I am with bands telling us they’re bringing back 'real' rock? In a recent interview with NME, Villanelle's Gene Gallagher expressed that the indie mob have “a genuine passion to bring rock music back.”
True rock fans will know that it hasn’t gone anywhere - but this isn’t the first time we’re seeing this take. Last October, Yungblood told Guitar.com that “rock is definitely coming back.” Fast forward to April this year and the Telegraph posted a story that claimed Yungblood was “bringing real rock music back from the dead." There’s so much to unpack here. What's dead, exactly? Rock music has never been dead! If anything, it’s never been more alive.
