The Cult are officially normcore these days:

Ok, in light of (admittedly limited) interest, we're dancing to The Cult at the moment. Who says irony is dead. Requests?

“Noisy Mancunian tripped out post punk genius,” – Louder Than War

CABBAGE are a group of young males who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and have given up trying to be normal or decent.

Manchester-based, the five-piece serve up an idiosyncratic, satirical attack in the form of discorded neo post punk.

Their debut single titled ‘Kevin’, taken from the ‘Le Chou’ EP (out now on Play and Record Records), has already been released with an accompanying video that will undoubtedly distort your view on life and ruin your day.

Supports TBA

I wonder how many of the acts listed below the three headliners are swaggerbands? "Local Lads Done Good" are pretty much a dead cert, right?

soref, Saturday, 20 August 2016 22:53 (seven years ago) link

sad to see blur's bass player fallen on such hard times

i can pee through time (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 20 August 2016 22:54 (seven years ago) link

Just looked them up, nobody in the band is called Alex James. There is an Alex, but no James. It could be his middle name, but.

Mark G, Saturday, 20 August 2016 23:03 (seven years ago) link

Alex James and The Sound
Alternative Rock

One of the most exciting New Alternative Rock bands to emerge in the UK in 2016, Alex James and the Sound are based in Bolton, Greater Manchester. The band comprises of Alex Brierley (lead vocals/guitar & Keyboard), Cameron Maunder (guitar and backing vocals), Kurtis Maunder (Bass guitar and backing vocals) and Sam Robinson (drums)

so...none of them are actually called "Alex James"? what a cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of the beloved Daily Telegraph columnist/artisan cheesesmaker/Blur bass player

this last few weeks has seen a pretty big revival of the swagger bands. 2 of them (both already mentioned?) Catfish and Blossoms have each had a number 1 album in the UK. Blossoms are still number 1 now. suddenly the mix of Roses and whoever is popular again. I'd never have thought it possible even a year ago.

I saw a poster for cabbage when I was home on glasgow a couple of weeks ago and a) immediately thought of this thread and b) could almost not believe what i was seeing due to how terrible the photo and how awful the name

But what are they actually like? Gang of Four? Flowered Up? Ocean Colour Scene? Or wot?

a) clearly not Swag in aesthetic or sound
b) really cool idea making a vid about torturing norms which has no relation or bearing to anything that might have happened in real life
