"Mark, My Words" Beaumont is happy - there's a subgenre breaking through

"It’s been around ten years since a new underground scene really broke through... So, with the South London scene already dubbed gristle rock, let’s continue with crank wave – Fontaines, Squid, Idles, Do Nothing, Life, Famous, insert your own band here; smart, modern guitar bands with a singer who sounds like someone having a psychotic episode in a debating society" - Mark Beaumont says in his newest NME blog Mark, My Words. "And see where not-just-‘music’ takes us from there".
