How about NO?! Of course SA band’s DON’T suck!! We have such amazing bands in SA doing us proud, winning local as well as international awards.
SA bands have come a long way since it’s inception, I find myself enjoying and listening to live bands and appreciating the amazing SA talent we have.
I must admit that I haven't always felt this way, for a long time I felt that South African bands were trying to hard too imitate international artists with the likes of “Red Hot Chilli Peppers”, “Green Day” etc.This doesn’t appeal to me, as I don’t live in America, our cultures and lives are totally different, so why do I need to listen to a South African band trying to imitate what I can hear if just change the channel to MTV.
On the other hand, I also think that the music industry in South Africa is completely different to that of our international countries, could this be the reason why so many South African artists feel the need to imitate our international artists?
Times have completely changed and SA bands have come to the forefront of music, to the point where more and more individuals are supporting local bands over international bands. With bands like the Parlotones, Goldfish and Watershed there’s just no way we can say that SA bands suck. It’s up to South Africans to support our local bands so they too can be international stars!
SA bands don’t need to prove themselves, they should keep on bringing the good music and keep up with the high standard and more music lovers will follow!
SA BANDS ROCK!!
