Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody has slammed U.S. radio for continually playing outdated songs, instead of using the medium to promote new music. The Northern Irish rocker, who is currently enjoying success in America with the band's hit “Chasing Cars,” insists the nation needs to update its broadcasting choices - branding the current situation a "graveyard for records."
He says, "You just have to turn the radio on there to know there's a problem. There is literally hundreds of stations dedicated to playing Eighties rock such as Poison, Heart, Whitesnake, Def Leppard. There is a serious problem.
"If television is the new radio (Grey's Anatomy, The O.C.) what's going to happen to radio? The radio, as I see it, is a preview device. A place to hear the records you may one day like to own one day soon. Not a graveyard for records you sold at the same car boot sale you sold your stonewashed denim jacket."
