Most overrated bands ever?

It sure does, but that's when having friends sending you random CD's in the post comes in handy. It might take 2 weeks for it to get here, but it still gets here before it's released, so it's okay sometimes.

But what angers me the most, is that fantastic bands like Death Cab For Cutie, Revis, Smile Empty soul etc etc etc, aren't even heard of over here. That makes everything so much harder.

For instance, I was in a record shop the other day and this is the conversation I had with the guy behind the counter. {As well as I can remember it}

~Me: Hey, do you guys have any Death Cab For Cutie or Something Corporate?
~Idiot: Who?
~Me: Death Cab For Cutie?
~Idiot: Who the **** are they?
~Me: A Great American Emo band.
~Idiot: Oh, right.
~Me: So, do you?
~Idiot: No. Try the internet.

If I wanted to get it over the internet, do you think I would've wasted my time going to a record shop? I think not.

Anyway, back to my point. There are so many bands you guys take for granted. In no way is this meant as a personal attack, but before I started checking out some of the bands my friend in Texas was babbling about, I'd never ever heard of them.
It's a sad sad world.

I'll shut up and die now, but thanks for reading :-)
