a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis

I think the Verve could successfully win a lawsuit against these guys for ripping off their sound. Knowing their luck, they'd lose...

Derek Smalls and Alan Davies didn't get the memo

Everything from The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan through to The Stone Roses, the Charlatans, Primal Scream, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller, Oasis, Kasabian

That is literally EVERYTHING there eh?

disappointed that www.banterbanter.net the mancunian music webzine seems mostly concerned with ROCK rather than just.....rock

wish i'd found that quote when i was titling this thread

bit ambitious trying to cram all those influences into one sound.

xpost

do you think in their heads people say that believing they have this really diverse taste or do you think they know they're ploughing the most sterile field in the world?

i am certain it's the former.

"with influences as diverse as"
About 824,000 results (0.15 seconds)

With influences as diverse as Kings Of Leon, The White Stripes, Black Keys, Modest Mouse, Rage Against The Machine, Muse, Pixies, and Interpol among many others they've forged a sound all their own but still familiar. Let's get those feet moving!

I'd be happy if these bands were pouring piss on themselves.

What bands/artists have influenced you?

Everything from The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan through to The Stone Roses, the Charlatans, Primal Scream, Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller, Oasis, Kasabian

GG Allin, Butthole Surfers circa 1986

Crass, Elephant's Memory, The Feelies, Wilco...

only cos there isn't one word for that 30-something white nob haircut

I always called it the Man's Chelsea

close to platonic indie rock influence list, just missing a token Marvin Gaye/Curtis Mayfield/Public Enemy mention.

xp

that'll do nicely sir

woof they already said Hendrix that's enough black guys

sorry and the drummer out of Ocean Colour Scene

You could play 'insert esoteric artist' into that list and try and and spot it for days.

"In fact, the only band we all like is Oasis!"

You think there'd be some who'd like Oasis but not the Beatles?

Oh, that was an actual quote.

"yeah, *He* likes the Rolling Stones more.."

"I mean, they're all right and that, but to be honest, I only like "Start me up" ..."

The indie side of rock n roll with a contemporary twist. Raw, energetic, loud. But we’re also not afraid to swap the electric for an acoustic and let a song breathe a little.

yes guys, do not be afraid to do that

There are few things I want to set on fire more than that Kasabian banner upthread

what about Kasabian?

Probably gonna wait till they swap back to electric again before I pour my cup of piss on them.

hats are rebellious aren't they?

"An oasis of horrific Oasis's in a desert of boredom."

Oh lord.

so i look at these and try to imagine whether they would be pouring the piss or having pissed poured on them, except that i suspect the dialectic resolved itself somehow

This is a thread in its own right btw.

sorry...

somehow it had totally passed me by that alan mcgee had started a new label. I look forward to hearing more from Gun Club Cemetery.

first release on the label ...

haha that can't be serious. check out that kid's music (& wait for the vocals to come in at least - he's worth it).

hahaha

Gun Club Cemetery love their good old-fashioned, down and dirty guitar music but like the bands who have inspired them – The Faces and The Stones among others – they can also turn their hands to a sensitive, heart-rending piano ballad.

its beyond parody innit.
the name.
the look.
the f*ckin' music.
poor lad.
only 15.
plenty of life left to realise etc ..

The band are fronted by Perth-based ex-Hurricane #1 singer Alex Lowe (vocals and guitar), alongside Mancunian Nick Repton (bass), who’d previously played with Bonehead in The Vortex, and Colin Ward from Nottingham (drums). The band formed just over a year ago.

this bit is lols

“I never knew Alex wrote ballads till last year – it’s interesting musically, his journey. They’re very big and beautiful songs, which is a hard thing to create. For an ex-boxer, he writes great ballads.“
- Alan McGee

“Gun Club Cemetery have started to get a little following together on Twitter, The Moons again, and Little Barrie, they’ve got some good singles. They’re the bands I’m backing“.
- Sir Bradley Wiggins

oh, and loving the idea that calling your band a very minor adjustment on a classic band, who really knew re the soul of rock and roll, and then referencing the same old creation friendly shyte as a starter point.

It never ocurred to me that the offspring of britpop/dadrock parents would end upmaking the same kind of music. In my day we hated our parents music (and vice versa) as kids

Idk, I think it became obvious relatively quickly that here was a sound that held sway across the generations. The genius of Oasis. Honing that sound/look/attitude to such an extent that plateauing was inevitable. For whole swathes of lads across the UK (of all ages) that's all they're ever going to need or want. Why bother doing anything different when that whole aesthetic is so perfect? Conservative, reductive, homophobic, sexist. The soul of a nation.
