The media's need for constant new fodder usually makes magazine and newspaper articles, television features, and blogs about the best new bands a mixed bag on which you can never rely. Why? First of all, they're usually a catchall of performers that have little in common, lumping together under the best new bands banner acts like folkie Brett Dennen, punk rock duo No Age, New Waver Santogold, seventies-style rockers Year Long Disaster, and R&B vocalist Estelle. Why call all of them best new bands when several of them aren't bands at all? I guess calling them best new acts sounds less edgy than trumpeting them all as best new bands. I'd rather read a roundup of best new bands organized by category: best new punk bands, best new R&B singers, best new folk-rock bands, best new New Wave bands, and so on. That's a best new bands guide I could actually use and suit to my own tastes.
