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.

"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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El7W7wQRLQAPaul 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.
