i agree with everything blank says EXCEPT i am david sparkle.. YOU INFIDEL! ahahah ok kidding..
another similar example is Amateur Takes Control, really awesome band but too much of Toe influences aredi, although i think that's a great direction..

Cheers.personally, I think Leeson is awesome.
yeah awesome because the lead guitarist is a pete doherty rip off, the body actions, guitar playing. just without the drugs.
I think it's a big harsh to say things like that. Afterall these bands are not as huge as people make them up to be. Members in Caracal and Cardinal Avenue are pretty much in their late teens and i like to think they'll grow musically over the years. However with what you said about their music, i feel the same as you.
And Leeson, i don't really think it's a sort of marketing style. If you know your music well, you'll have noticed that he sounds very much like Morrissey. and with a guitarist like Pete Doherty, i think they are very much influenced by 80s-Libertines era british music so i think it's only natural to get an Angmoh to sing because i don't think an asian can croon like those angmohs do. not talking about ability but more on delivery. any idea where's the singer from?

For all the bands mentioned above, they are very well liked by people. In a way, you (blank) had helped them to 'promote' their band , and also spot on their mistakes. Hope they would make things happen and proves everyone wrong.
And hope to change this 'critics' mindset wrong. And hope his ' music ' is flawless..

Apart from "to each his own", if a crappy band likes what they are playing they definitely do not think they are crappy in the first place. How then do any of us expect them to improve?
Musical tastes vary tremendously. What's popular on the music charts may not be what I like. Then why are they popular?? Because there's a significant number of people out there that likes what they hear. To confess, I hate metal. But I know there's so many people here that listens to metal. So it's hard to explain the difference in musical tastes and eventually the music they play.
For people that are particular (like me), I would prefer more creativity in the lyrics. Alot of bands/musicians are actually singing about the same issues, but it is how they express themselves that makes a difference, at least to me. Most local bands lack that creativity, but I don't think it's their fault. Our creativity is limited by our culture and what we're exposed to since young. We don't have anything rich here and that affects our experience and it shows in the way they write their songs.
Well, that's just my personal opinions and poor attempts at 'explaining'. If a band's infuences are not your thing, their musical direction and what comes out of it surely would not appeal to you. Trying to ask them to change to suit your musical needs is impossible, it just means you're not a fan. Look elsewhere.

yeah well you know, that's just like, your opinion, man
anyone can hide behind "constructive criticism" but maybe if you spend some time and effort realising them will any of your words hold weight.

If you've taken the trouble to talk to the guys from Leeson, you'll know that they are very genuine the way they are. You can see from the way they talk to each other that they are not putting on a fake image. Jamie Michael is British, if I remember correctly. He does some solo singer-songwriter stuff but I can't seem to find his myspace anymore.

nothing. i like em. you don't. it's normal. life would be boring if it weren't that way.
That's crap, I know more than enough yellow WESTERN OPERA singers to tell you it's all about technique and training, and most importantly, for singing more than any other instrument, TALENT. Which I have no doubt, exists in yellow people as much as white people.
oh. to be honest i'm ok with them. just cannot stand the carbon copy of the lead guitarist.
frankly speaking i don't care what bands people are listening to, as long as it makes them feel good, the job is done. i just cannot stand it when they over do it. when the "coolness" factor takes over what music actually is in the first place.
