Yup, they were huuuge. I had friends who collected literally anything they could get by them. Nobody talks about Therapy?, S*M*A*S*H, Wildhearts etc at all. Maybe projects like Three Colours Red killed the enthusiasm. Honeycrack were brill though.

Therapy were massive at the time though, this whole strand of 90s British rock seems to have been entirely expunged from the history books.
I was thinking of this (on a slightly broader scale) yesterday when I got a PR mailout announcing the reissue of the first two Kerbdog albums on vinyl. (To the band's credit, the photo they sent around was them now rather than back then.)

Infernal Love was a very boring, serious album but Troublegum, Nurse and the earlier EPs were really fun

listening to Troublegum for the first time in probably 20+ years and wow... It's amazingly catchy, still very driving, and I'm surprised at how memorable even the deeper cuts are

I never owned this album but have one of the singles and liked the other singles at the time, when I was 16-17, and I always liked the pre-Nurse stuff, but I downloaded and listened to this album once about 15 years ago and was like ugh no thanks. inspired by this thread I listened to it again and kind of like it now
I listened to Infernal Love not so long ago and yeah, that was still shit
I guess I'd probably better give Nurse another go as well now
