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

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 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"

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.

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?
