Guitar music not dead, claims man with guitar
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 15 December 2014
If you thought we were going to make it to the end of the year without someone announcing that guitar music is not dead for the 7352nd time, you were sadly mistaken. Because Catfish And The Bottlemen frontman Van McCann has gone and done it.
Speaking to the NME, McCann said: “Guitar music’s not dead. We’re a guitar band and I fucking love it. Royal Blood are killing it, The 1975 are killing it. When we write songs, I just think, ‘Are 60,000 people going to want to sing this back to me? Is someone in a nine-to-five job going to feel euphoric listening to it?’ If not, I’m getting rid of it”.
If you’re sitting their shaking your head right now, it’s presumably because you’re reading this at a computer. McCann added: “The people that get us are not the people that sit at their computers, they’re the people working shit jobs or on the dole, like I was”.
