Hmmm...In a certain way, bands like The Cure and Smiths sugest
melancholic, lonely landscapes. Of course, bands that have a dancey
aspect get more attention, but when something like B&S reachs a certain
level of
success, its fans get even more passionate. I think that it can be a
positive
thing as opposed to bands like Cardigans or Spice Girls. I'd say
that B&S will be big. I wouldn't go as far as saying the're the next big
thing, but they'll certainly have their place in rock history, they may
even be starting something other bandas will try to follow and the press
will later call "a movement".
