2011 was forecast to be a successful year for guitar bands within the music industry. Many experts and even rock bands themselves believed that the recent decline in guitar based music was sure to be on the up after almost complete dominance in the charts from acts like Lady Ga Ga, Justin Bieber and Adele. Surely it was time for rock and roll and indie bands to re-emerge and claim their place in the charts?

Return of the Big Names

Since January 2011 a host of well known and well established bands such as The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys and R.E.M have returned to the spotlight with new albums, but not long after they are released they soon disappear out of the charts without a trace. There are also bands who earned moderate success around 5 years ago such as the Kooks and Hard Fi and even the newly formed Beady Eye have failed to see their album’s reach the UK top 10 albums. Although these bands continue to sell out venues, the same cannot be said for their singles and albums which have had little impact on the charts. You would have to search high and low to find a radio station that places these bands on their top play lists.
