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

Guy on the right looks like a sadistic PE teacher. Guy second from left looks like a fascist Job Centre advisor.

advisor: "You're late for your appointment."
snoball: "I'm 30 seconds late because the bus collided with a recumbant pensioner."
advisor: "Come back in 2 hours."

the beardy one reminds of this young middle-class jogger I once had some verbals with (he cried like a pussyole cos my soft-arse dog barked at him once). Lots of tattoos and gym membership, something about "positive mental health" on their social media profile. My dog is good at judging twats!

the look of a young Richard Ashcroft

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

If 40 is considered young.

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.

maybe Chat GPT has been working in the background for more years than we realise

Nothing more swaggery than Oasis than having a punch up with your band mates.

The View: Gig halted after band members clash on stage

A gig came to an abrupt halt after The View lead singer apparently threw a punch at the band's bassist.

A mix between Frazier and Foreman with the swagger of Ali...

That PR blurb is quite... something

Did I imagine it or have they become really right wing in their older age? I'm sure someone mentioned that they were one of the all lives matter anti-woke brigade.

I’m hoping people will come away with the idea that you’re gonna love every track, and that it’s a callback to the glory days of rock. That’s all I ask.

I'm now searching recent interviews with them.

Lots of gold in here:

https://www.flickofthefinger.co.uk/band-interviews/2019/hurricane-1-interview/

Lots of 90’s bands are making a comeback, was it only a matter of time before Hurricane #1 returned?

Chris – People don’t always realise we have been back since 2015, becuase our 2016 album, Find What You Love And Kill It, went a bit under the radar as it was only released internationally

Of course, there’s a familiar name to the 90’s followers in Stuart Fletcher. A former Seahorse…….

Stuart – British music needs us and all these other bands for then. We were all the pioneers of the genre.

Jon – Back to show them how it’s done (laughs)

Love the way that whichever poor label intern had to come up with this shite couldn't be arsed to fix the piss-poor grammar the band had supplied for the track by track rundown.

What are the members of Hurricane #1 listening to when it comes to current music out there?

Chris – Crowded House for me, just now…..loved them then and I love them now. Also, a band called Television.

Alex – I love the big guns………real musicians. Black Sabbath, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash. Old school, you can’t beat it!

Stuart – I’m really digging Greta Van Fleet at the moment. Ace band, along with Zero 7

Jon – Bob Seger, Pearl Jam……..old school rock

"a band called Television"

"There was another group in the East End called the Originals, and we had to rename ourselves."

When the subtext becomes the text

more like Hurricane #18

you’ve really got to wonder how you reach the point of hating people defined by their rejection of racism and fascism, but I guess it’s the good ol youuuu kayy
(not that most Brits are awful, just that the extremists go hard)

a mix between Greta Van Fleet and Television with the swagger of Crowded House

A mix between Adolf Hitler and General Franco with the swagger of Mussolini.

More like a mix between Nick Griffin and Monty Python's Gumbys with the swagger of Albert Steptoe

Hah when I saw the H#1 link posted originally I was thinking 'do I ask if this is the band with the racist lead singer or is that actually Heavy Stereo or someone?'

rest assured every band in this thread has a racist lead singer

Changing Scene had nailed this vibe years before Britpop.

It's my unfounded belief that at least two people in Changing Scene were siblings

oh

can't find any other reference to Changing Scene on the internet except for a listing in the June 9th 1975 edition of the Hull Daily Mail, they were appearing at Ocean that night

https://i.imgur.com/tkY4xsY.png

sorry, that's June 6th, not 9th

Well that proves they existed, it did have the look of a fake about it.

If it’s a fake it’s fantastic. Kudos to whoever thought to have a drumming ventriloquist.

maybe someone is going through old copies of the Hull Daily Mail and using the band names from the listings page in their fake promos? Hope they do The Sensational WHIYZZ KIDZ next

are you ready for BILK?

Do labels even need interns anymore? Cause their blurb reads exactly like something ChatGPT would spit out

so the singer from Hurricane #1 is an actual nazi. i remember the name, but couldn't remember what song they did so i googled. oh yeahhh, they didn't have a hit song, they were a momentary blip on the radar because the guitarist from Ride was involved. they disappeared fast because even the most ardent Ride stans lost interest the instant they heard a note of the music. they must be bored, hardly think any fans were clamoring for a reunion. god, did they ever suck.

The nu-H#1 are essentially every other band on this thread but with the minuscule advantage of technically having been in the charts about twice

Colchester rock band Koopa have made chart history by becoming the first unsigned act to enter the UK Top 40; Their new single Blag, Steal & Borrow debuted at number 31. How have they managed it? Through downloads. (2007)

https://i.imgur.com/Y1CklRe.png

lol i thought hard about posting that on here

they look like Blink wannabes tho rather than Campaign for Real Rock lads

They want to be Blink 182 but at heart they are a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis is how i see it

lol this is the end of their wikipedia entry

2010: Koopa return
After spending time away, the band have announced they will be making a return in late 2010, having had a very deliberate six months or so "out of the loop", and after working and touring solidly for eight years. Joe Murphy said: "We've been out of the loop by choice. When you gig for so long, it gets a bit samey, so we took a bit of a break after the last few tours."[citation needed]

The band announced that their break was taken to develop a slightly new sound and new songs.

Back to basics, just three lads in a room, workin' it out

Man can’t wait for that new sound and songs

whoa hold on there, it's a slightly new sound, they aren't going to stray far from that Koopa sound we all know and love

whew

this is the most 2000s looking band I've ever seen, like a fictional band in a tv show set in in 2004 that they add as a period detail to remind that it's 2004
