# ^this.
NME review bands and promote them - but they have to be established enough for NME to take notice, so they'd exist anyway.

Also there are far, far worse music mags out there.

# ever read "Cider with roadies" ?
that wasn't always the case

in the past NME has created the demand so to speak

"romo" being one of the worst examples

They do help bands become established. However, I doubt Razorlight or the Arctic Monkeys were brought into existence purely by NME.

# They still do
But I belive in the case of the Artic Monkeys it's well documented that they're self made. But we still get some twunt student that'll be an accountant in two years to knock their achievements!

# Someones been following the mighty evangelism of Bill Hicks.
