All involved should decry the speed in which a band can form, play its first show and release a proper album – Smith Westerns anyone? That formula, obviously, doesn’t ensure quality or a lack there of, but contrasting bands’ stamina and their longevity’s pretty interesting. With the current spate of sub-terra rock groups kicking around, it doesn’t really seem possible that too many of them are set to wrench a twenty year career from constant touring and issuing singles in runs of two hundred and fifty. It’s worked so far – Thee Oh Sees seem to be able to maintain a consistent level of performance, but the group’s frontman has a bit of experience.
