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

"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?

Oh lord.

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

This is a thread in its own right btw.

sorry...

somehow it had totally passed me by that alan mcgee had started a new label. I look forward to hearing more from Gun Club Cemetery.

first release on the label ...

haha that can't be serious. check out that kid's music (& wait for the vocals to come in at least - he's worth it).

hahaha

Gun Club Cemetery love their good old-fashioned, down and dirty guitar music but like the bands who have inspired them – The Faces and The Stones among others – they can also turn their hands to a sensitive, heart-rending piano ballad.

its beyond parody innit.
the name.
the look.
the f*ckin' music.
poor lad.
only 15.
plenty of life left to realise etc ..

The band are fronted by Perth-based ex-Hurricane #1 singer Alex Lowe (vocals and guitar), alongside Mancunian Nick Repton (bass), who’d previously played with Bonehead in The Vortex, and Colin Ward from Nottingham (drums). The band formed just over a year ago.

this bit is lols

“I never knew Alex wrote ballads till last year – it’s interesting musically, his journey. They’re very big and beautiful songs, which is a hard thing to create. For an ex-boxer, he writes great ballads.“
- Alan McGee

“Gun Club Cemetery have started to get a little following together on Twitter, The Moons again, and Little Barrie, they’ve got some good singles. They’re the bands I’m backing“.
- Sir Bradley Wiggins

oh, and loving the idea that calling your band a very minor adjustment on a classic band, who really knew re the soul of rock and roll, and then referencing the same old creation friendly shyte as a starter point.

It never ocurred to me that the offspring of britpop/dadrock parents would end upmaking the same kind of music. In my day we hated our parents music (and vice versa) as kids

Idk, I think it became obvious relatively quickly that here was a sound that held sway across the generations. The genius of Oasis. Honing that sound/look/attitude to such an extent that plateauing was inevitable. For whole swathes of lads across the UK (of all ages) that's all they're ever going to need or want. Why bother doing anything different when that whole aesthetic is so perfect? Conservative, reductive, homophobic, sexist. The soul of a nation.

There's a mcgee article with said bands in the new NME

omg just noticed fucker in the back of the fourth photo is talking on his fucking phone. "Yeah yeah, we're doing the deal. Yeah, brunch noon sunday is good. Gotta go, in the middle of a shoot."

HAHAHA at that John Lennon McCullagh video, especially when he sings "It was then I knew defeeeeat"

The next Jake Bugg right there.

I wanna hear the rest of John Lennon McCullagh's lyrics but the voice is just too much :(.

This thread is something special. I wonder if the piss-pourer piss-pouree dialectic resolved itself in the meeker end of the UniLAD spectrum, where thanks to friends of friends the English Lit dork and the ... [what do LADs study at university anyway?] can co-mingle in the same social groups.

the 50%inTertiaryEducationLAD demographic = sports science

Sports Science came to mind but Sports Science LAD seems more of a type in itself. Maybe the generic UniLAD is just an umbrella term for various microLADs, your Sport Science LADs, your Forensic Anthropology LADs.

that guy just sounds like loads of mid 90s scottish singers/bands. Sadly theres still loads of them but not usually as young as that (there was loads of 15 year olds making music like that in the mid-late 90s. Harleys had most of them playing every week.
One time we were shocked by a brilliant 15 year old guitarist. He really was shit hot.

can't believe there's enough Sports Science places in HE to occupy the number of LADs in the sector.

idk i dont really imagine a lot of these northern indie types at UNI at all

altho i find it difficult to imagine them doing anything else other just loitering aimlessly in some lancastrian asphodel

no i doubt most of these peeps are students, probably holding down jobs at bottom end of finance sector, telemarketing etc

Having taken bass up at the relatively late age of 18, Chris Edwards started off getting an education from the likes of The Verve and Oasis, later checking out the way Noel Redding held things together in legendary late ’60s outfit the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"getting an education" = secure unit

was britpop really the last big "scene" we had in the UK?

plenty of other threads for contemplating the social purpose of Britpop, this one is for haircut fun and mild death threats
