If I saw any of these bands swaggering down the street towards me I'd certainly piss myself... laughing

(slight Walker Brothers vibe from that last one which slightly saves them though)

slamming on the dubstep brakes (snoball), Monday, 22 July 2013 09:31 (nine years ago) link

Well look on the bright side, at least none of these bands will fall foul of a club's 'no trainers' rule. The 'no looking like a complete twonk' rule might be a problem however.

See, I did wonder if that first picture was those twunts Kasabian or just some twunts trying to look like Kasabian... and I still have no idea.

if i knew which one was which i could maybe agree but i can't spot any odd ones out

as i scrape further down the barrel i'm finding that the bottom-feeders usually have one guy who hasn't quite got the look down

the key to having the swagger of Oasis is looking like you huffed too much gas at some point in your life.

Our music is easy to listen to, nothing complicated, just great, positive tunes, obviously influenced by core bands like the Beatles, Oasis, and the Stone Roses. But for me personally, we are all about the songs.

"Yea definitely, the industry’s a bit too squeaky clean, and has been for quite a bit now. Hopefully we can give it a kick up the arse. Especially with The Stones Rose(sic), and Noel Gallaghers new albums sort of taking off quite big, hopefully it will be a big surge and not just one band – a movement bringing guitar bands back. Hopefully we can be involved in that." Tom from The Modern Faces.

i suppose the joke is that it's a sunburst finish. does anyone think of them as a strat band though? only really think of them playing semis and then les pauls

anyhow, every day i walk my dog past one massive house in a fancy street that has like two range rovers in the spacious driveway and through one window i always see this huge framed reproduction of that that album cover on the wall and if you're wondering who would spend a grand on this crappy-looking thing well there's your answer

a google image search of live photos reveals, as you said, mostly hollowbody gibsons or les pauls, few other quirky things

Paul Mccartney requested that they play at Glastonbury. The singer can't decide whether to impersonate Paul Weller or Terry Hall. I guess the mild 2 Tone sax and piano bits make it slightly different to the usual run of the mill Oasis/Roses shash. But they're just underwhelming and inoffensive really.

i think earlier in this thread people have talked about the strangeness of the promo copy for these bands but "Transforming their influences into their own originality, this night was one to remember for some time to come” is a delightful word salad

The piano and sax line makes it sound more Springsteen to me than your usual lads group. This tune is better than many things posted on this thread.

this is my incredibly annoying dickhead cousin who used to wear hats all the time until his wealthy gf paid for a hair transplant and then the hats mysteriously became less frequent. Next time I see him I'll tell him there is no cure for spiritual baldness and his repertoire of Beatles/Oasis/Coldplay covers is fucking lame!

i believe that calboa is just some dumb quasi-acronym of the bandmembers' nicknames etc but i did briefly think "this is a more interesting direction for self-styling to take -- is it a place or a flower or what?"

(there is a plant genus sometimes known as calboa, tho more usually as ipomoea: the latter includes morning glory, moonflower, sweet potato and water spinach… but i don't think this is what these feebs were going for)

mark s, Friday, 17 March 2023 12:41 (two weeks ago) link

I think theyre just Doherty aligned rather than the usual Oasis etc

The boysiness remains the same tho

Calboa are a four-piece band from Hull who started life as the bedroom project of singer-songwriter Callum Blakeston, an affably rakish fellow with an easy laugh, a dandy hat and the look of a young Richard Ashcroft.

two amorphous band blokes from Hull, both po-faced twats with sunglasses hanging from the necks of their t-shirts for a band pic: absolutely no right to exist.

Specifically, the look of a young Richard Ashcroft who has done too much nitrous (ie any amount of nitrous).

Hull-based indie band The Steamers is a force to be reckoned with, blending the infectious grooves of The Stone Roses with the psychedelic edge of Primal Scream and the undeniable swagger of Oasis. Their music is a perfect fusion of classic and contemporary sounds, combining driving guitars, pulsing basslines, and soaring vocals to create a truly unique sonic experience. With a powerful stage presence and an unapologetic attitude, The Steamers are quickly making a name for themselves on the UK indie scene. Don't miss the chance to catch their electrifying live show and experience the irresistible sound of The Steamers.
