Metal Heads,Goths, Emos And Posers! Kenyan Rockers Are Posers, Pretenders and Wannabes!
I have been listening to rock for the longest time, I’m speaking Ten years! Some of you were probably dealing with identity crises around then, while some of you were probably learning to wipe their noses. I f they actually gave out accolades for loyalty to music, I’d probably be bagging more awards than Mayweather. But as it stands, there are really no rockers in this vast waste land that we call country. People have been sucked by the need to stay relevant, they listen to genres like hip hop (which is music full of crap anyway) and other genres that no one would care to write on an article anyway.
So why the bile? No one supports rock music in this country! I remember this time that I attended a gig at club Ichonic on Ngong race course. There was among bands like Murfy’s Flaw,Dove Slimme, K-street Avengers, Void Of belonging a band from South Africa, Boargazm. The event which I had expected attract more than a several thousand guys was deserted. Only a handful of guys showed up. But for those that managed to come, we all had an awesome night of headbanging, moshing and howling to the guitar riffs and guttural howls.
The Kenyan bands were just too good. It was however the South African band, Boargazm that carried the day. They gave a good deal of thrashcore to the eager crowd. When all was said and done, We went home happy that at last, we had attended to our needs and met a south African band. You should quit calling yourself a rocker and join the bandwagon of mainstream music.
Rock and all its related genres is not for the petty, short-winded and flat chested wannabes (who I called posers earlier) who have no idea beyond Ed sheeran and Taylor swift. Rock is for the intellectuals, people who have a life, It is not for the disturbed (like most of you have learn to view it ) Its for the few chosen folk who have a soft spot in their chests for true music.
Maybe you should start listening to Rock today: I recommend:
