Why do all these bands never take their coats off?

Muggers Lane are a Fife based band with a blend of Indie, Punk, Dance and good old fashioned Rock and Roll, Muggers Lane originally formed in 2007 only to split up in 2008.
In this short time Muggers Lane gained a large following and a reputation as one of Scotland's best up and coming bands at a time when the talent was rife.
In May 2013 Muggers Lane reformed with all the original members, they are now ready to make their mark on the UK music scene.

Would watch a reality TV show featuring all of these bands living in sheltered housing

Forming from the ashes of their previous projects, this band is different from any local band I’ve ever seen prior. Not necessarily in how they sound, but in how so early on intotheir infant career, they appear very, very ambitious and driven to achieve. There is no point in setting yourself a target if you could hit it now and that’s exactly what this band haven’t done. In fact, I believe that to be the very reason why, Chasin’ Vegas – armed with their fantastic and relevant debut single, ‘Times Are Hard’ – are about to prevail in injecting a much needed dose of British Rock back into the veins of Essex’s current cover-band infested music circuit, and succeed in helping true, patriotic guitar music get back on its feet.

When the age of decent guitar music, weakened and crumbled under the pressures put on it by major record labels and later on, the introduction of reality T.V shows, this band, amidst the rubble, desperately clung to a chunk of Britpop debris in the hope of one day being able to use it to piece back together the very essence and nostalgia of that period – and, in doing so, they have now perfectly, inhibited it into their sound.

The track itself then – the reason we are all here – is exactly what you’d expect from a band fronted by a man that, when donned with his jet-black shades and his mod-esquehaircut, could easily be the musical offspring of Liam Gallagher and whoever he recently had an affair with – but when reservedly sat with a guitar in his lap, acquires the melodic capability of Noel – a trait prominent in this single.

It pours with an oasis of screeching guitar riffs and solos that are executed exquisitely by lead guitarist, Ryan Wadey, and in the space of the opening ten seconds, the first four chords – courtesy of frontman and lyrical whizz, Tony Clarke – single-handedly capture everything that was great about the ‘90’s and consistently as the track goes on, audaciously looks to re-implement the beauty of that era onto a generation that’s currently brainwashed by the ripples of Nicki Minaj’s ‘twerking’ backside.

Yes, admittedly, you wouldn’t be wrong if you were to initially think that this was a previously, un-heard single dug out of the Gallagher brothers’ archive of forgotten songs, but then again, who really cares? I don’t. ‘Times Are Hard’ may not be experimental, new or revolutionary in how its sound harks drastically back to a now sadly bygone era, but at the end of the day, it’s a brilliant, ‘working class’ friendly, belterof an anthem that grabs life by the bollocks and tells it to fuck off. It’s exciting and gritty. It’s real – something that pop-culture today, truly isn’t.

for some reason this thread quickly shifted from laughable to deeply melancholic when i read the phrase "this is a band to watch for 2007"

All this nostalgia for the mystical sun-drenched mid-90s is making me feel very old.

it's deeply strange, that one. like you couldn't write delusion like that, or such a mixed bag of views - the horrendous writing expresses it perfectly.

it sort of reads like a parody of patriotism in a modernist novel. it's interesting that "patriotic" just slips out at the end of the first paragraph.

Weirdly enough I was reading a novella-lenght essay on Mishima last night. In one of his novels Mishima parodies writing for a right-wing journal (by a chracter that will go on to plot an assassination of a political leadership group) and its as dumb and wrong-headed and thin as that piece.

It can't wait to express and emote around something lost w/out any reflection, logic or argument around what that something might be.

true, patriotic guitar music

the age of decent guitar music

always worth actually considering it when people use phrases like "proper" or "decent" to describe music.

so they're nostalgic for the nostalgia of that time. it's seriously the kind of thing you read orwell talking about.

Played that game a few months ago. I think Bonehead was the level three boss.

Still wrestling with this concept tbh.

Just realised that their name is literally a combination of a Shed Seven and a Sleeper song.

Wow it's exactly like the Fast Show 'Indie Club' sketch I posted earlier.

Opening chords "single-handedly capture everything that was great about the 90's" -> "same chords as Wonderwall but in a different order"

the_ecuador_three, Thursday, 2 April 2015 16:04 (nine years ago) link

Except Noel never mastered playing chords with one hand.

Yes, admittedly, you wouldn’t be wrong if you were to initially think that this was a previously, un-heard single dug out of the Gallagher brothers’ archive of forgotten songs

So it actually is a previously unheard single dug out of the Gallagher brothers' arsehole of best forgotten songs?

I know you get the aggressive ones but a lot of them are quite friendly one shouldn't generalise imo

We're resonating with young people because no one else is doing the big guitars and chorus thing," he said, explaining Catfish And The Bottlemen gigs were full of "40-year old men who tell me: 'I've been waiting for a band like yours since Oasis'."

Those guys are horrendous misogynist fucks who can fuck right off. Ugh.

Just sayin, kind of a slow day at work today so if anyone's got some more of these rubes to clown, don't hold back

Think those charges of misogyny have been completely rebutted.

“I mean, our manager is female,” says the singer. “I love women and hold doors open for them.
