Maximo Park Singer Slams Money Making Bands

Maximo Park singer Paul Smith has had a good old fashioned rant about how crap other bands are.

The singer has eulogised his own pure musical motivations, whilst lamenting the penchant for others to whore themselves to the corporate beast - although he's disappointingly failed to name any names.

He fumes at the Daily Record, “There's too many people trying to be like something else to fit in and make money. I was never in a band to make money, I was in it to do the best for myself and to play alongside other people who have the same ideas.

"Whatever kind of music you make, you just do it for the love of it and feel like you're not being taken advantage of. There's always music industry types who try to change your songs."

Right on man!

However, if Paul does ever find himself needing a few extra quid because his love of music has driven him to poverty, perhaps he should become a taxi driver?
