growing aversion to verse/chorus/verse/bridge/chorus and the like, chord progressions that create no tension or release, only satisfaction of expectation. happy bubble songs.
punk isn't punk enough, it's a style that a singer/songwriter can form a group around; or folk, rock, soul.
that isn't a band. a band has a purpose. a direction.

re-hashing retro riffs and structures with new recording technology is submitting to technological determinism.

it is not possible but definite that there are songs that haven't been written yet. why most bands set out to write songs that sound like what they listen to rather than what they want to hear is beyond me.
