Merchandise Talks 'After the End,' Punk Culture & Hating Morrissey Comparisons - Billboard
Excerpt:
But don’t mention Morrissey. Cox’s vocals are often likened to the old crooner, but for the record, he’s not a fan.
“I f--king hate Morrissey. I think everyone’s stupid for idolizing him. Obviously I love the Smiths, but I feel like he stopped writing good lyrics once he started his solo music.”
But former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr? That’s a little better.
“I don’t know Johnny Marr personally, but I know he’s said some nice things about us in the NME, so I would say he’s much cooler.”
