ffs canada get a grip of yourself - wallet chains, velour jackets, ponytails and wide-collared shirts aren't acceptable in this milieu

^^note horrible 70s album title, these guts are all over the place, frankly

soref, Friday, 12 June 2015 10:20 (eight years ago) link

it's a four track EP, you see

soref, Friday, 12 June 2015 10:23 (eight years ago) link

These Canadians look terrible right enough but I'm not seeing much in the way of swagger.

Eyeball Kicks, Friday, 12 June 2015 10:50 (eight years ago) link

nonces if you ask me

what's wrong with british bands?

bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Friday, 12 June 2015 10:57 (eight years ago) link

good honest British bands for hard working British families

Does ILM need a non-UK Britpop thread to discuss the likes of Fool's Garden and Superpunk?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=639uXPvj-Uc

A: No.

hongro strulkington (dog latin), Friday, 12 June 2015 11:35 (eight years ago) link

Is that a band or a solo artist who's had his photo taken in a park somewhere with some people milling about in the background? (xp)

Willibald Pirckheimers Briefwechsel (Tom D.), Friday, 12 June 2015 11:37 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I definitely thought 'solo artist photo'd in a park and they didn't clear wastrels from shot' first of all.

Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 12 June 2015 11:41 (eight years ago) link

Superpunk! <3

Madchen, Friday, 12 June 2015 11:45 (eight years ago) link

Guy on the left is bona fide wearing a tank top, right? That looks like it has diamonds on, yeah?

Fucking hell.

"We're doing an Abbey Road, Right?"

"Aren't you supposed to have no shoes on?"

"Shush."

Mark G, Friday, 12 June 2015 12:12 (eight years ago) link

Actually, the Cheboza pic looks right by being very wrong indeed and out the other side.

I'll avoid disappointment by not hearing any music, of course.

Mark G, Friday, 12 June 2015 12:14 (eight years ago) link

wrong thread

Long-awaited and feverishly anticipated, Wolf Alice’s debut album My Love Is Cool comes with lofty expectations. Fittingly, then, it’s a record that reaches for the stratosphere. Equal parts gigantic guitars and wistful, wilting beauty, My Love Is Cool is a timeless collection of songs that outways any preconceived notions of what Wolf Alice are, or can be.

"outways"

Keith Moom (Neil S), Friday, 19 June 2015 09:27 (eight years ago) link

Also, Wolf Alice are not one of those bands, so: wrong thread.

A eclectic set of influences from 90's Brit pop Ocean Colour Scene and Oasis to 1960s Mod/Pop such as The Small Faces, The Beatles and The Who has led to a collective effort on song writing duties which draws on all of these but puts a new , fresh take on these styles.

With a blossoming live reputation that has taken in shows at the iconic King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, 2015 promises to be a big year for this hard working and well dressed outfit.

feargal czukay (NickB), Friday, 19 June 2015 11:35 (eight years ago) link

that is perhaps the least eclectic set of influences imaginable

bizarro gazzara, Friday, 19 June 2015 11:49 (eight years ago) link

Still, at least they are well dressed, that's the main thing.

true, the butcher's smock / aviators combo is one we haven't seen a lot of in this thread

are these guys called 'peaside soup'?

bizarro gazzara, Friday, 19 June 2015 12:04 (eight years ago) link

where is this photo of the well-dressed band again?

boat of boats (dog latin), Friday, 19 June 2015 12:05 (eight years ago) link

they are called This Hard Working and Well Dressed Outfit.

anvil, Friday, 19 June 2015 12:35 (eight years ago) link

Originally they were called Hard Working Families until Dermo said his sunglasses were his family and he could fuck off with talking about his rich dad he was just in the right place at the right time the jammy bastard

i could see this thread ultimately yielding a poll to determine this, pretty sure every third to fifth bio has a line like this one
