a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis

National Service - an unfairly maligned institution?

National Service - an unfairly maligned institution?

Only one good track on that one

is Soldier On Bungalow actually the name of that band, or is the url misleading?

oh, just noticed the preceding post. they should add an exclamation mark to the end of 'Soldier On' to make it sound like a groovy exhortation

They (or at least a graphic designer in a hurry) added an arrowhead to the N in their logo.

If you ever got a hold of my iPod touch, once you get past the four-digit code you’ll see it’s full of some of the greatest music you’ll ever hear. Ranging from Small Faces to The Seahorses, every songs a “tune”.

I think if you’re in a band you need to look cool as fuck. I want to look like I’m in a band. Parkas, Polos, Chelseas etc. Anything that’ll make people ask “Here you! You in a band?” to which I’d reply “Aye mate, Soldier On.”

are they all man u fans?

What band/artist has most inspired you?

Oasis look at my hair

I’m actually really good at writing about myself. I’ve always got something to say and an opinion on most things.

yes i'm sure you do

What would be your ideal gig?

Being the last band on at a big festival.

if only there was a convenient word for this position

I have a dislike for most people that don’t dare to be different.

This has to be a joke, right?

having watched the video of "Eggs for Breakfast" i'm hoping so

It's like they have even less awareness than Raygun.

(for reference)
RAYGUN - finally the 00s has its own Gay Dad

not everyone that keen on the Eggs for Breakfast video:

You look like a bunch of miserable bastards, smile some and stop objectifying women, sexist video.

though the girl just looks vaguely bored and contemptuous throughout the whole thing, don't know if this was intentional

This is a vanity project of independently wealthy dudes right?

The girl did add a bit of sophistication (boredom and contempt) to the video which I liked.

guy second from the right doesn't really seem 100% committed to the 'look'

I was trying to start off 2015 giving humanity the benefit of the doubt

Il faut un temps, dans les années 70, où courait un slogan fort en vogue : « If its too loud, your’re too old. » Passé la démagogie du propos, on peut se souvenir de ce type de phrase édité sur les albums : « To be played at maximum volume. » Même le Ziggy Stardust de Bowie en a bénéficié, on pourrait ajouter que cette recommandation n’aurait pas été saugrenue sur les disques des Stooges, MC5, Fleshtones ou autres.

Avec The Dukes, cette même instruction semble superflue : « Black Hole Love » ou « Gold Digger » ressusciteraient Rob Tyner (Rock in Peace), « Alive » puise sans vergogne du côté des musiques qu’affectionne Tarantino pour ses films (western et riffs démesurés) et des titres lorgenront sans fausse honte vers des groupes « hard » plus récents : Linkin Park sur « Genius », QTSA avec « The Great Escape », le punk US façon Offspring dans « Just In Case » et un groupe avec qui on peut voir plus d’une affinité revivaliste, The Hives sur « The Tyrant ».

here you! you in a band?

Eventually someone's gonna post a pic of a band that an ILXor is in.

This thread is like Shit Haircuts R'Us!

All the shit haircuts under one roof...

who or what's to blame for this 'Who, mods, Jam, parkas, Faces, Chelseas, Stones..' look/talk/bollocks? it wasn't even this bad 10 years ago. the influence of YouTube and Spotify? BBC4 rock docs? Classic Rock magazine?

makes me pine for the ElectroClash revival.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Shit Haircuts R'Us kid!
