Aussie rock musical abominations: critic
1points
A UK music critic has rocked the Australian music industry by labelling Silverchair, The Vines and Savage Garden as "musical abominations".In his first blog for a London newspaper's website, Everett True (who is now based in Brisbane) slammed Australian rock and the music media.
"Australians don't have much respect for the music press - it runs counter to their culture," True said on his blog.
"The idea of anyone actually daring to criticise musicians for the sound they make is almost heresy.
"Everyone is treated equally, which means no knocking anyone back, however great the temptation. (That'll be why Australian rock is best known to the outside world for such musical abominations as Silverchair, the Vines and Savage Garden.)"
