Now so many really good groups who have had a first major hit can't get a deal for a second one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After a while, though, the group just wasn't a good vehicle for the songs I'd written.
It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.
You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.
I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.
Good new songs are the backbone of the music industry. There isn't an artist out there who could survive without hit songs.
I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set.
Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.
It's hard for bands to stick it out because people grow up, and it never really pays off. If you're looking for some sort of payoff, it's not gonna happen.
Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.
I don't think that bands that make it on their first album are as strong as bands that don't: there is nowhere to go but down.
