NEVEREST


Last.fm listener count: 340

This band has possibly the most confounding situation of any band I will post about in this thread. They have less listeners on Last.fm than most of the hardcore bands I listen to that I consider "obscure., yet they have a song that plays daily on Canadian pop radio stations.

Due to this band's relative newness to the music industry, I do not know much about them, but I do know that their single "About Us" is one of the worst songs on Canadian radio right now. The song is made up almost entirely of its chorus. I don't know whether to applaud them for a sorta kinda unique song structure, criticize them for melodic repetitiveness, or stab myself in the ear because the hook is so damn annoying.

Take a listen, but don't say I didn't warn you. Pop rarely gets any more manufactured than this.
