Telling People To "Get On" New Band Has Opposite Effect Shocker

Research indicates that trying to hype up a new band by telling others to "get on this shit" or similar ultimately has the opposite effect.

Experts call this "Griff Rhys Jones Syndrome", recalling the Vauxhall car company's street-cred crushing decision to cast a scruffy Welsh guy in a tweed blazer to sell its cars.

Nobody wanted to know what car Griff Rhys Jones endorsed, just like nobody wants to know what bands you want other people to "get on".

Subconsiously we just add them to the growing list of bands to never bother with.

So now you know.
