Jon McClure takes a swipe at Calvin Harris

Reverend And The Makers frontman Jon Mcclure has publicly criticised Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, branding his hits “McDonald’s music”. The rocker is adamant The Girls hitmaker, who has carved out a successful global DJ career and regularly tops the charts with his dance tunes, represents all that is wrong with modern music.
He tells Britain’s Daily Record newspaper, “People think because I don’t like Calvin Harris that I must be anti-Scottish but I’m not.
“l love (Scottish acts) Django Django, Primal Scream, Franz Ferdinand, The Jesus and Mary Chain – but Calvin makes what I call McDonald’s music.
“We came out at a similar time and both made vaguely electronic tunes with a band. And then his A&R (artists and repertoire) man said, ‘Instead of doing that song with Leona Lewis, I’ll get Rihanna to sing it. Pretend you’re a DJ now and don’t even be in a band.’
“He doesn’t even like his own music. People graft (work) all week and pay a hundred and odd quid (sic) to go to a festival and when he plays live he’s just pressing play on a CD.”
