The blame can be divided between so many people and factors. Even town centre planners can cop for some, as far as I'm concerned, for allowing this corporate defiling of our otherwise characterful high streets, by brands.
Bands will always form, play and need to share / sell their creations. There will always be audiences, who want a record of what they've experienced. Whilst one outlet may have disappeared another will inevitably take its place. And will continue to do so, as long as the music's there to inspire.
