... that despite being a post-punk band, the vocalist of Blue Bendy called the genre "lethargic and landfill"?

Source: Post-punk band: "At a time when being described as ‘post-punk’ can mean that you fail to stand out on your own terms, this six-piece recall the original intentions of the genre". Quote: "Blue Bendy singer Arthur Nolan is discussing the band’s early days. “Before post-punk got so lethargic and landfill we were trying to be like Wire,” he says."

ALT1: ... that "genre is dead", according to the vocalist of Blue Bendy? Source: "Of So Medieval, their debut LP released by State 51, Nolan clarifies: “Genre is dead as far as we’re concerned. This album is all about the death of purity, embracing contrasts and everything being a big melting pot”."
ALT2: ... that Blue Bendy have been inspired by the Grateful Dead, Suzanne Vega, and Gogglebox? Source: "Arthur Nolans tells me the music is a mix of the Grateful Dead, ... Suzanne Vega, ... synth player Olivia mentions the important influence of reruns of Gogglebox."
ALT3: ... that Blue Bendy have been compared to both pavement and Pavement? Source: "To me they sound like the following: ... Pavement the band. Pavement the surface"

Comment: Plenty of really good options for hooks - I like all of them, although ALT3 would probably get the most clicks.

I indeed prefer ALT3; is the most punchy. The orig hook is a little wordy imo; difficult to understand on a quick read because of sentence structure. It could be somewhat interesting, but I'd be more inclined to click ALT3. Otherwise, Article is new enough (created 30 Dec), well-sourced, neutral, presentable, image under valid license, and hook is cited. Nice work! seefooddiet (talk) 12:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
