Bands drinking in the last chance saloon

El_Goodo [Edit] [Delete] 19:06, 13 February '12

Fame, fame, fickle fame or is it a case of a couple of good music ideas followed by.....nothing?

There comes a time in a band's career where they have one last chance to produce a decent record or face being dropped from the label / ignored by the general public / forever classed as having potential but ultimately being shit. Let's call it the make or break album. You can ride a wave of popularity and hype or a few decent early tunes for so long but at a certain point you have to deliver more.

I'll start us off with some obvious ones:
Klaxons - really need to pull something out the bag on the next one, people are losing interest by the second;
Glasvegas - it was looking so good for them after album one. Album two - what the hell was that?
Tyler, the Creator - woah, way to deflate the hype!

Who else is facing the one last chance record?
