I'm not a fan of the Zutons but they're far from the worst thing that I've ever heard and they've a few good tunes but I was pretty surprised to find today that they've been dropped by Sony BMG for the failure of one solitary single. "Whats your Problem", the last single by the band failed to chart causing Sony to make the decision they did.
Now although I did think for as long as the song has been getting airplay that its one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever heard, I still think this might be a serious overreaction on Sony's part and even more indicative of the music business being just a processing line (not that I had any grand delusions about that). Poor bastards. One bland piece of shit song and they get bumped after having that song "Valerie" be hugely popular in either their version or scumbag Winehouses version.
