Stewart:
Commercial success is not necessarily my motivation for asking the
question...and (for the record) just about every band on the planet is more
commerically successful than my own...so who cares! I'm just looking for
some insight from folks on the list who may be into them.
To my ears, I hear alot dissonant, atonal racket (more so with Modest
Mouse).
Granted, there's music for everybody tastes...I'm just surprised these two
particular bands are as popular as they based on their (to my ears, anyway)
pretty inaccessible sound.
Jeff
P.S. And I won't say it's "hype" because I know you wouldn't be satisfied
with
that argument, either.
