We need to talk about Kevin.

It seems like we're entering the age of 'Kevin'. I don't think I've encountered my own name (not referring to me) so often as I have over the past couple of years.

There's now a show on Radio X (the new XFM) called 'Indie Landfill'

Really?

Could have called it "Indie Ghetto", and go Elvis to sing the theme song.

xp rah!

Kevin has been around for a bit - https://www.discogs.com/artist/370423-Kevin-4

Sure, and the Undertones, for example. It's completely a subjective thing, but it just seems like I'm encountering a lot more Kevins atm. Growing up it seemed the only other Kevin was the wine gums fruit bat.

Based in Halifax the band play country wide and are heavily influenced by bands such as Stones, The Who and Oasis. Plenty of original material as well.

we'll be the judge of that lads

a lost generation - fucking tragic

Boy on the far left just needs a pipe to complete the hommage à Harold Wilson.

wait, what year is this? there's still time to stop Blair!

So, for our readers who haven’t come across you yet, how would you describe the band?

We pride our sound on being unique and try not to be like many others.

Can you describe the band in 3 words?

Fucking mega mate!

Desert Island disc?

Oasis, Definitely Maybe – easy!

The problem with Smile Awhile is that their frontman appears to be Bruce Dickinson

Someone on our football messageboard posted a RedStar vs Oasis pic to illustrate the insurmountable gap in class between us + Man City and eight people liked the post!

Redstar look like they've got a member who used to be in the SAS?

makes sense, that's music straight out of the interrogation phase of special forces training

The Mary Hopkins version is perfectly charming. It is a Russian song from the great terror era so I'm sure the inherent tragedy that is imbued in it wasn't lost at all on these sensitive artistes :p

We're apparently in the midst of another great terror era... if ILX is to be believed.

I'm shamed by my confusion over their name

Was thinking the other day watching the (not very good) ''Thoroughly Modern Millie'' - at this point in time, the Lennonisms being aped here are older than McCartney's ''granny'' tropes, Millie's roaring-twenties nostalgia (also for then-still-living grannies) or the general Edwardian bicycle-built-for-two steez were in the mid-to-late-60s. Surely it will have to run out of steam eventually, right?

idk, people still like roaring-twenties stuff
