NEUROSONIC Frontman JASON DARR - "If It Wasn't For Auto-Tuning In The Studio ASHLEE SIMPSON Wouldn't Have A F*cking Record"

Canadian act NEUROSONIC initially made the BW&BK; news page after being deemed a terrorist threat by the FBI (read the report here). We recently hooked up with the band's mastermind Jason Darr to discuss the Neurosonic debut album, Drama Queen. One topic of discussion was the song 'So Many People', which is Darr's statement on the infamous Ashley Simpson/Saturday Night Live lip-synching fiasco:
“That song is about Ashlee Simpson, my favourite girl in the world,” says Darr. “At the shows we did in the States the ratio in applause quadrupled when people heard the lyrics. It’s my own little commentary on the music business, definitely. I mean, a whore like that selling two million albums? Please! If it wasn’t for auto-tuning in the studio she wouldn’t have a fucking record. It’s disgraceful, it’s disgusting, and as a musician it’s embarrassing."
Listen to the song 'So Many People' here. Watch the Features section on this page for the full story, coming soon.
