Oh yeah these guys are solid at what they do. Some of the hype bands were downright bad (Jet & Royal Blood fit that category), or The 1975 as a more modern example
Didn’t Imagine Dragons get hyped a lot? Yeah they’re awful too. If anything the quality has descended greatly from where it was (and in retrospect the ‘pool’ of talent wasn’t exactly bountiful to begin with)

the most recent example in the uk scene of stupud hype is The Last Dinner Party, who were supporting rolling stones before theyd released their first single from what i remember
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Dinner_Party
seems like a pretty classic example of the uk music press hyping up a bunch of the upper middle class cos theyre from london and have a cool image

'including playing a set as the opening act (while still called The Dinner Party) for the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park in July 2022.
After signing with Island Records as 'The Last Dinner Party' (to avoid confusion with the Dinner Party hip hop supergroup),hey released their debut single "Nothing Matters", which was produced by James Ford, on 19 April 2023.'
yeah pretty nuts. some people say 'industry plants', id just say more hype machine overdrive from nme wankers

word, although there are cases like with the chapman family where the band are sort of unwilling participants. these days it’s more the windmill scene that is being lauded by the machine

actually do not understand why this is a 4.2 average
quintessential 3.1 radio indie
could be a 3.5 if it were more riffy and if the vocals were more distinct

it captured some sorta pitchfork nme zeitgeist in the early 2000s
ig you had to be there
def enjoyed it when i was first really getting into music
