Looking at the rest of the current crop of 'new' or newly hyped bands can't see a great number being here for the longterm.
I think Kasabian and Bloc Party will keep their momentum up, keeping fanbases in the manner Oasis and Suede did after their initial successes.
Babyshambles are an obvious short-term act and I don't think Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park, Editors will still be as big in a few years time. Rakes, Hard-Fi and Futureheads I don't know about either. The Tears wont be around too long as I think they thought they would have taken off more than they have.
Mew and Arctic Monkeys are probable long terms to me too once they get a few more releases under their belts.
The kids will get bored with the Libertines off-shoots sooner rather than later meaning an end to The Others, The Paddingtons and their like.
Snow Patrol, Keane and Embrace will still keep their V crowd but new acts like Kubb and Morning Runner will tap into their fanbase.Statistics: Posted by Teasy — Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:49 pm
