Babyshambles have decided to delay the release of their next album, blaming the poor condition of the current indie music scene.
The group had planned to release their third LP later this year but have now postponed it to concentrate on solo projects as guitar-based music experiences a slump in popularity in the UK, while electro pop has risen to prominence.
Drummer Adam Ficek explained: 'Babyshambles won’t release a record until late next year when the scene is more fruitful.
'At the moment, most guitar bands are struggling. People have got bored because there’s a generic sound.
'There was a lot of money going into indie music so more mediocre bands have managed to sustain a career out of it.'
'Someone young with something to say, as no bands have anything to say right now. We haven’t had a good working-class band for ages.
'The kids don’t want to be like Arctic Monkeys because they’re not characters like Liam Gallagher or Damon Albarn.'
