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"

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

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

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Thursday, 2 April 2015 08:08 (nine years ago) link

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

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.

armed with their fantastic and relevant debut single, ‘Times Are Hard’

new display name, sorry joyce pastiche we hardly knew ye

This be the jokeyjoke that hath occurred to me (Bananaman Begins), Thursday, 2 April 2015 10:44 (nine years ago) link

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.

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.

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

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.

‘working class’ friendly,

Still wrestling with this concept tbh.

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

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

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.

Bees and the Law (Tom D.), Thursday, 2 April 2015 16:06 (nine years ago) link

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.

Is there any band of this kind successful in the UK at the moment ?

AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link

See the first pic on this thread.

Blighty, where wankers just wanna be adored

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:12 (nine years ago) link

See the first pic on this thread.

It's certainly a silly question but who are they ?
So this genre is still popular in the UK ?
I think the last time I heard of a band more or less in this field it was arctic monkeys a few years ago.
I don't even know if their music is relevant for the description in this thread.

AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:25 (nine years ago) link

That is Kasabian. They are quite successful.

The other bands on this thread, less so.

Mark G, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link

no expert here but that's definitely a case of actual personality trumping front

yeovil knievel (NickB), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:37 (nine years ago) link

Best thing to say is that a lot of these acts operate a fly by night popularity along with the worst dregs of OG Britpop
