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

The tragic future that awaits all these bands:

every pixel in that photo is hilarious

I had to reverse image search that to find out if it was a ticket queue, a shit fan art exhibition or a lookalike contest. Turns out it's a queue to buy overpriced parkas.

that photo has a vague being john malcovich restaurant scene vibe

it's from an opening of Liam's parka shop isn't it? It has been posted to another thread for lols IIRC

From the overlooked confines of the north, where the desolate shell of a dead industrial empire hangs heavy, this band brings light, hope and an adrenalin shock of lust, love and devastating charisma. Just when you may think that rock' n 'roll had been consigned to the history books, here comes a band that will fill your head with dreams and your heart with hope.

Slydigs’ ship sails straight and true on waves of pure blues rock 'n' roll.

Fuck me.

Now, equipped with the charisma of the Rolling Stones, the energy of The Clash and music that has so long been missed in an ever changing industry, 2014 is set to be submerged by this monstrous band.

i just wish there was a tambourine on the table in front of them

Just when you may think that rock' n 'roll had been consigned to the history books, here comes a band that will fill your head with dreams and your heart with hope.

Interestingly, this is a direct lift from a 1963 Freddie and the Dreamers press release.

Sporting their influences proudly on their sleeves, Edinburgh’s The Holy Ghosts marry an unabashed love of rock ‘n’ roll with a lick of blues homage to The Rolling Stones, wrapped up in the sort of insouciant indie swagger that recalls Oasis in their pomp. Opener Little Kickstarter finds frontman Jack Sandison channelling Mick Jagger’s sneering vocal to great effect, but it’s a stomper that also calls to mind Primal Scream and the messy raunch of The Black Crowes.

The one on the right looks like a successful actor, the one next to him looks like he doesnt really want to this any more and wishes he was at home playing scalectrix with his nephew

it looks a bit like a reunion photo. its 15 years later, the two on the right have come back. far right went on to stardom in an unrelated field and is returning from america, near left is returning from the Isle of Man where he works in his wifes family business, the two on the left are still living in the same flat and are excited the gang is back together again, even if its only for one night

impressive to right a gig review of Edinburgh's The Holy Ghosts without once using the phrase "complete fucking tools".

Praying for your isles, wow rip

Newly signed to Mercury Records and influenced by all the very best - The Stones, Led Zep, Oasis and Kasabian - The Struts are set for the very top.

National Service - an unfairly maligned institution?

National Service - an unfairly maligned institution?

Only one good track on that one

is Soldier On Bungalow actually the name of that band, or is the url misleading?

oh, just noticed the preceding post. they should add an exclamation mark to the end of 'Soldier On' to make it sound like a groovy exhortation

They (or at least a graphic designer in a hurry) added an arrowhead to the N in their logo.

If you ever got a hold of my iPod touch, once you get past the four-digit code you’ll see it’s full of some of the greatest music you’ll ever hear. Ranging from Small Faces to The Seahorses, every songs a “tune”.

I think if you’re in a band you need to look cool as fuck. I want to look like I’m in a band. Parkas, Polos, Chelseas etc. Anything that’ll make people ask “Here you! You in a band?” to which I’d reply “Aye mate, Soldier On.”

are they all man u fans?

What band/artist has most inspired you?

Oasis look at my hair

I’m actually really good at writing about myself. I’ve always got something to say and an opinion on most things.

yes i'm sure you do

What would be your ideal gig?

Being the last band on at a big festival.

if only there was a convenient word for this position

I have a dislike for most people that don’t dare to be different.

This has to be a joke, right?

having watched the video of "Eggs for Breakfast" i'm hoping so

It's like they have even less awareness than Raygun.

(for reference)
RAYGUN - finally the 00s has its own Gay Dad

not everyone that keen on the Eggs for Breakfast video:

You look like a bunch of miserable bastards, smile some and stop objectifying women, sexist video.

though the girl just looks vaguely bored and contemptuous throughout the whole thing, don't know if this was intentional

This is a vanity project of independently wealthy dudes right?

The girl did add a bit of sophistication (boredom and contempt) to the video which I liked.

guy second from the right doesn't really seem 100% committed to the 'look'

I was trying to start off 2015 giving humanity the benefit of the doubt
