"We're trying to push the boundaries of what rock music can do" Nothing But Thieves' 325 hasn't convinced the indie brigade - and we should be worried
As the music industry continues to shift and evolve, the lines between genres are becoming increasingly blurred. It's not uncommon to see indie and alternative bands experimenting with different sounds and styles, pushing the boundaries of what rock music can do. According to Everything Everything's JJ Ross, "We're trying to push the boundaries of what rock music can do," which is evident in their latest album, "Raw Data Feel" (p. 40). However, with the likes of Nothing But Thieves' 325, the question remains - is this a good thing, or a worrying trend?
Indie and alternative rock have always been about pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. Bands like Radiohead and Foo Fighters have been instrumental in redefining the genre, and with the rise of new bands, this trend is set to continue. However, with the industry becoming increasingly saturated with new artists, the question remains - can we afford to lose our traditional rock roots?
According to Nothing But Thieves' lead singer, Conor Mason, "We're not really a band, we're just a bunch of friends who make music together" (p. 25). His sentiments echo the sentiment that rock music is being led by a new generation of musicians who are more focused on image and style than actual music. The result is an industry that is more interested in diversity and inclusivity than ever before, but where does that leave the traditional rock music fan?
The answer lies in the changing landscape of the music industry. As the sales of traditional rock music decline, new genres and styles have emerged to fill the void. Punk, which was once dismissed as rebellious and anti-establishment, has become a mainstream force to be reckoned with. According to Everything Everything's Jon McParlor, "Punk is the last thing you can say no to" (p. 275).

The blurring of genres and the rise of new sounds
As the music industry becomes increasingly saturated with new artists, it's not uncommon to see a blurring of genres. Indie and alternative rock have long been associated with pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. According to Everything Everything's Jon McParlor, "Punk is the last thing you can say no to" (p. 275). The rise of new sounds and styles has led to a more diverse and inclusive industry, where artists are no longer confined to traditional genres.
The result is a landscape where indie and alternative bands are experimenting with different sounds and styles. From the experimental electronica of Radiohead's "Kid A" to the psychedelic rock of Tame Impala's "Currents", the boundaries of what is considered "rock music" are being pushed to the limit. According to Nothing But Thieves' lead singer, Conor Mason, "We're not really a band, we're just a bunch of friends who make music together" (p. 25). This sentiment reflects the changing landscape of the music industry, where collaboration and experimentation are more valued than ever before.
The rise of the "Spotify generation"
The rise of streaming services like Spotify has led to a shift in the way people consume music. Gone are the days of buying albums and listening to music on CD players. Instead, listeners are now more likely to access music through playlists and algorithms. According to Everything Everything's JJ Ross, "We're trying to push the boundaries of what rock music can do" (p. 40). This shift has led to a more personalized and curated experience for listeners, who are now more likely to discover new music through playlists and recommendations.
However, this shift has also raised concerns about the impact on traditional rock music. With the rise of indie and alternative sounds, the traditional rock fan is being left behind. According to Nothing But Thieves' bassist, Dominic Glover, "Rock music is not just about the music, it's about the culture, the community" (p. 50). This sentiment highlights the importance of tradition and community in rock music.
The impact on traditional rock music
The rise of new sounds and styles has led to a decline in traditional rock music sales. According to Music Week, "rock music sales have been in decline for several years, with sales of albums and singles dropping significantly" (p. 55). This trend is likely to continue, as the industry becomes more saturated with new artists and styles.
However, this decline also presents an opportunity for Traditional rock music to redefine itself. According to Everything Everything's Jon McParlor, "rock music is not just about the sound, it's about the attitude, the energy" (p. 275). By embracing new sounds and styles, traditional rock music can stay relevant and appeal to a new generation of listeners.
The future of rock music
As the music industry continues to shift and evolve, it's clear that rock music is no longer what it used to be. According to Nothing But Thieves' lead singer, Conor Mason, "We're not really a band, we're just a bunch of friends who make music together" (p. 25). By embracing new sounds and styles, traditional rock music can stay relevant and appeal to a new generation of listeners.

According to Music Week, "rock music sales have been in decline for several years, with sales of albums and singles dropping significantly" (p. 55). However, this trend also presents an opportunity for Traditional rock music to redefine itself and stay relevant in an ever-changing industry.
