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...

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 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.

'Rolla' bringing that third hour in the smelly rehearsal room on a Tuesday night vibe to the stage, c'mon!

Cafe Indie in Scunthorpe? Well, I suppose you've got to start somewhere. Although, on second thoughts, they might have worked their way up there.

It's a long way, to the top, if you want to mix the Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis.

OSHEE-YAAAAAAAN

Gene Gallagher’s Villanelle are ready to launch with “a genuine passion to bring back rock music”

Oh shit Oasis offspring are forming bands now, it'll never end

He's really got that "leaning into your personal space" energy from his dad.

Starmer said that Labour was the “patriotic party” and sought to reclaim the UK’s flags after a summer in which they had become the focus of a culture war. His vision of Britain combined “the grit of the Lionesses, the swagger of Oasis, the strength of the Red Roses”.

Shamelessly bypassing Britain to concentrate on England there I see.

Not sure how I feel about my country swaggering

This genuinely makes me wonder if one of his speechwriters reads ilx, or maybe even posts here

Calzino, you scamp!

LOL. Wow. (Not sure I've really even perused this thread much, but that title is permanently etched into my brain regardless.)

No place for the Stone Roses (Your Party) or Primal Scream (Greens) in modern Britain

Xpost*2 read that as "c-man you scamp". Who knows, though....
