We're in it, so let's acknowledge it - Pop Culture, the record biz, society as a whole ...all at a crossroads. A landscape so filled with cowardly leaders, Pamela Anderson pornos, vague dismissals of real issues. All amidst an arsenal of soulless fake punk, wannabe icons, who tug at the pant leg of mainstream consciousness. Curiously, kids still look down, only to see melody-free careerists with huge
media profiles (no need to use names, use your imagination) and music so hyped yet, uninspired that said, "Icons" are household names but barely eek to platinum. Is it because the kids want to buy video games? Is it because they all fled to rap? Or is it because.... they smell a rat?
New Radicals, led by young liability/singer/songwriter/producer Gregg Alexander, is chomping at the bit. "Maybe you've been brainwashed too" is his baby and you can feel it from the impulsiveness present in every loaded sentence.
