Apple Orchard

Editor notes: This week INDIE BANDS THAT SUCK YET EVERYONE TELLS ME THEY ARE AWESOME, ONLY THEY AREN'T AND NO ONE WILL SAY IT.

Apple Orchard by Beach House


If you enjoy music that doesn't go anywhere, that's slow, that whines, that is outright boring... then Beach House is the band for you. These guys suck. They're one of the worst bands I've ever heard, yet people seem to love them.

Why?

They sound like half the shitty bands out there that play five notes over three minutes with an organ. But things move so slowly and never builds to anything... it's like listening to really really bad Bread.

Beach House is what I'll call soft rock indie—only more boring than your usual soft rock crap. And therefore thanks to the "I'm going to fall asleep" organ, lack of any beat/rhythm/bass, and rejection of hooks and rifts, Beach House is an indie band that sucks.
