T-Shirt bands

cassette [Edit] [Delete] 13:28, 18 September '09

a new phrase I find myseld using a lot these days to describe bands with fans who seem to be more captured by the image than the music. Bands like Rolo Tomassi and Pulled Apart By Horses, kids seem to have fallen in love with the idea of them more than the music. The whole buy the t-shirt before the album thing has never been better emphasised better than with Crystal Castles, anyone with any sense will aknowledge that the music is complete shit but the bottom line is, she's cool, he's cool, they look cool and they have cool merch. Well, rant aside is there any other bands that can be added to this list?
