Here's How Bring Me The Horizon Are Changing Rock Music
Imagine with us: You're driving in your car, you're walking into your neighborhood grocery store, you're in some space, public or otherwise, where the sounds of Top 40 radio surround you. What do you hear? Taylor Swift, the Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Fetty Wap. Pop, R&B and hip hop dominate the airwaves. With the very real exception of Fall Out Boy, Paramore and 5 Seconds of Summer, guitar-based music rarely makes an appearance. It's almost as if rock music has become a thing of the past, an antiquated concept.
That mentality is a defeatist one. There are tons of great bands of all rock sub-genres making really incredible, forward-thinking music. (Need examples? Click here and here.) They might not be in the Top 40, but they're shaking things up elsewhere: On the charts, in stores, in venues around the world. Their records have impressive debuts, their fans are rabid. Bring Me the Horizon, once cast off as just the pretty metalcore boys of Warped Tour, are part of this world. In many ways, they govern it.
