re: Buzzcocks, Pete not trying hard enough - or at all - well done, Pete! Scary how many of these bands there are, tbh, though not as scary as the fact that Nick has photos of all of them.

Named after the classic Bluetones Britpop anthem, Marblehead Johnson pay tribute to the British Britpop music scene, bringing the recreated Britpop hits up-to-date in a powerful combination of passion and quality akin to the harder-hitting sound that the bands produced in their live shows.

We can also offer a double-header with ex-Inspiral Carpets front-man Tom Hingley for a limited number of dates.

"ok lads, what've you got in mind for the photo shoot?"
"dunno, in front of the town hall? behind the cathedral? somewhere with decorative ironwork, deffo"

Marblehead Johnson also trading under the name The Morning Glories. Britpop Reloaded seem to be their only serious competition as a cross-artist Britpop tribute band.

This is a depressing world.

ya you'd think there's be loads

local eire man (darraghmac), Tuesday, 10 February 2015 14:45 (nine years ago) link

all of the bands in this thread are doing this, even if they might claim otherwise

Keith Moom (Neil S), Tuesday, 10 February 2015 14:46 (nine years ago) link

so Marblehead Johnson/The Morning Glories are also Different Class, Slight Return and One 2 Another.

Given that I spent over a decade of my life working at a rehearsal studio in Camden, I'm amazed I haven't recognised any of these fuckwits yet. Only a matter of time surely, I feel like I've met them all.

めんどくさかった (Matt #2), Tuesday, 10 February 2015 15:20 (nine years ago) link

Impressive - they've almost perfectly nailed an early 1970s family photos feeling. Yellow-check in particular has the time-travel vibe.

lead guy in swagger action shot looks if he's just popped out of the office and put his denim shirt on over his work clothes

"So what do you want to do in this photoshoot?"

"How about if I fart on the bass player?" (xp)

I'm kinda stumped trying to come up with a US equivalent, although I guarantee there more than a couple American bands that would fit in this presentation.

They're called Smash Fashion btw
