thats one things thats awesome about them over there though, they seem to embrace new/innovative stuff before we do. however, the stuff they are ussualy embracing more or less comes from here. a band from america attempting to "create a new sound" or whatever, probablly has a far better chance of making it in england before he does in the united states (that includes new york...and of course, depends on ones intepretation on what "making it as a band" actually means).

"making it" is pretty hard to define because if you know the right people it's not that difficult to get a record out,
however, it is difficult to get enough press and promotion to actually sell enough copies and tour successfully enough to make any money.
