a band that looks like a bunch of dope smoking vikings

love how this is still the biggest compliment paid to Kasabian itt by a mile

fuck's sake i listened to a pigeon detectives song for reference's sake yesterday and it's still in my head. the price one pays to be a lower tier ilx contributor.

i'm sure there are a lot of ugly sorts among these bands, but i'd be very surprised if any outugly the pigeon detectives singer:

Many of those are not crap and not forgotten.

Like, Kaiser Chiefs and The Feeling are both among the best new UK bands of the past 5-10 years or so. Athlete also had their moments.

But going for Toploader, who didn't even really have good catchy tunes.

Tragically, this may be true.

They're still crap though.

finding out that you like the feeling is the first time you have truly disappointed me, geir

Sometimes I forget that ILM is mostly a British thing, until I see this thread and its 450 posts.

It used to be but not anymore. But hatred of britpop and its successors pulls everyone together in times of need

even Ferg checked in for this!

every time I see this thread I think it is going to be an actual discussion about a landfill in particular or landfills in general. I open it, see that it is not, and leave.

even Ferg checked in for this!

I know!! Been trying to contact him for about 6 months. Now we all know what the batsignal is.

The bands are characterised by a softer, less aggressive sound than earlier bands (compare with The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys

landfill indie is new wave to britpops punk?

not really. this stuff is from squiggly line almost a decade later squiggly line.

true

i definitely remember it being labelled Britpop 2.0 though.

well yeah it's fair enough for the kaiser chiefs and the ordinary boys especially, but there was a bigger gap between them in time is all, and while in the grand scheme of things both this stuff and britpop was basically two variations on 'unimaginative guitar pop', the discourse changed around it? idk, it wasn't a watered down version of britpop in the way new wave was (they tell us) of punk.

yeah I know what you're saying and I don't disagree with you.

Arguably, I'd say Kaiser Chiefs and The Kooks are actually harder edged than most Britpop bands were. The softer side of Britpop is represented today in the guise of the likes of Coldplay and Snow Patrol though.

oh yeah i guess i meant to say that this landfill business is the rebirth of arse-end, 1k995-7 era britpop. bands i can't even remember the names of. the supernaturals. not the more defensible earlier stuff.

Also noted were the band’s growing similarities in musical direction to The Fratellis’ and the Arctic Monkeys.[38] The band commented on the album’s style, "I think we've made a dynamic album," Pritchard said. "Every song has its own character. It's a good pop album."[27]

They also are influenced byThe Velvet Underground and covered "Sweet Jane".

not sure i've heard the kooks band

you will have, they had a couple of pretty horrible ubiquitous hits

The band were watching a video recording of themselves playing a gig, and misheard the ending refrain ‘Its alright, it’s alright’ from the song ‘In The City’ as ‘razor-light, razor-light’ which was then chosen as the band name.

I Killed Razorlight With My Big Fucking Dick

^^ 'i made this'

not really sure why i chose a sonic youth title to do it with. ah, youth.

During their first tour of 2008, Roy Stride lost his voice en route to a gig in Birmingham and was diagnosed with laryngitis, forcing the band to reschedule a series of dates on the tour.

John Aizlewood of Q. May 2010. gave the album 4 stars, commenting:

"There are no curveballs, no experimental digressions, nothing other than 10 of Roy Stride's focused slabs of honed guitar pop, summed up by the first 26 seconds of opening track This Ain't A Love Song, where soaring keyboards explode into a chanted "na na na".
