every band pictured here are better than the smiths tbh

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.

Every month is white guitar band history month

such a horrifying thread title.

a mix between hitler and pol pot with the swagger of hugo chavez

Is there a sniper in that building in the second Kasabian photo I wonder

no way does some random indie band that looks exactly the same as all the others belong on this thread

anthemic

swagger

On April 9th the band released their double A-side ‘Pravda Scrolls”/ ‘Cynical Brother’ through their own Dirty Love label, songs which have achieved the descriptions ‘anthem’ and ‘epic’ respectively.

Yea I think they represent us the best as a band, you know a bit attitude, definite ballsiness and that’s exactly what we are about.

thats funny bc everyone of these dudes looks crippled by self-doubt, maybe its the safety of the mob that gives them swagger

spent a lot of time yesterday googling "indie attitude"

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

why are the Bunnymen still going ffs, hang it up

nah, backcombing is a different look to the 70s Rod Stewart floppy bangs

this reminds me of an email to the channel 4 teletext music pages circa 2001 in which someone complained about LADS pouring a plastic cup of piss on them at an oasis show, the way their audience comprised an awkward mixture of LADS and provincial ~indie~ dorks with extensive collections of SFA albums

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

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

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

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

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"

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 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.

Yeah, I totally get that matey is (at best) adjacent to the premise of the thread, I suffered through some of his other vids and it was more in the Mod revivalist way (if that could even be called a revival), but I chose his Ska/Adidas trackies moment for inclusion.

There's some (undeclared) nepo baby duo getting puff pieces for their exciting mod revival shit at the moment on the socials so I'm afraid this is definitely happening (again)

I think the nepo baby siblings duo "The Molotovs" are the kids of Tory MP for Suffolk, James Cartlidge. Jesus fucking wept and apologies to the legendary Soviet diplomat.

In an ideal world I would like to separate out the "you are shit and your music is shit" thing from the "also you are indulged by a soi-disant industry that just makes 'jobs' for the spawn of rich clowns" but, well, fuck it

At least most of the lads on here are authentic petit-bourg wastemen

it's getting harder out there for petit-bourg wastemen, or even talented ones because all arts and entertainment is going to be nepo-ed out. They never realised how how good they had it in the 80's when you could sign on, doss about for months, tell DWP staff to go fuck themselves if they pointed you towards the workhouse.

Ironically that's a lyric on the nex5 Sleaford Moderates record

they're calling it grit-rock now lads

Misread that as git-rock. Can you blame me?

shit-rock? sheet rock?

grift-rock, although probably not in this case

also a tip of the bucket hat to this lot for their name...
