Blending a mix of driving guitars and heavy drumbeats with dreamy riffs and anthemic melodies, Kartica achieve a roaring guitar sound with echoes of Oasis, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene and The Stone Roses.[1] They were described by NME magazine as "Solid Sheffield indie rock"

Check out the lads

Kartica are at a Pigeon Detectives level visually

"Solid Sheffield indie rock"

this is one step down from "a band that exists"

Sly Dog's PR (or whichever of them wrote it) could do with being a bit less defensive

i appreciate these lads' stubborn refusal to kow tow to pop orthodoxy and current trends. these guys are like 21st century teddy boys.

A vibrant mix of indie, rock 'n' roll and MOD, Subject have a new original sound ready for you consisting of 3 lads who love bringing a strong British sound to everyone who wants it.

"Subject are a young three piece band from Yorkshire bringing the 60s into the 2000s." - Sounds Of Steel.

based purely on that photo, I'm finding Sly Dog more likeable than most of the bands in this thread

How have I only just discovered this thread?

I just listened to Sly Dog, they're actually marginally more boring than you might imagine.

I'm kinda stumped trying to come up with a US equivalent, although I guarantee there more than a couple American bands that would fit in this presentation. You could make it with the glam bands that try to dress like Aerosmith, but I don't know that that look has carried on to the current day in the same way.

There are plenty of dudes with facial hair that have tried to re-create the early pictures of The Band (and/or Civil War re-enactments).

earlnash, Tuesday, 10 February 2015 03:25 (nine years ago) link

"Sly Dog are young and do not lack confidence, which is very important when you want your music to be heard, at a time when it seems harder than ever to get your music across in an age where the pleasure of discovering a band and listening to an album has been altered by the inconvenience of I-Tunes and the delete button culture that the internet has spawned."

I can't help wondering if Sly Dog could diagram this sentence.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 10 February 2015 03:54 (nine years ago) link

"Sly Dog = Delete"

.. Is what it's saying, basically.

The first EP was very mod influenced and quite specifically targeted at an audience. But obviously it’s an art and we write it, not for the pleasure of others, but for ourselves.
