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

darragh i quite like some kasabian songs too, let's start a band

i'll write your press release

how do you feel about "a mix between the stone roses and primal scream with the swagger of oasis" - just something off top of my head

don't forget to put your own modern unique spin on it

"a mix between Acker Bilk and Lonnie Donegan with the swagger of Tommy Steele"

tommy steele rocked really hard and he looked awesome so if you are starting one of these bands don't look to him for inspiration. acker bilk on the other hand....

lg you're hired.

put in something about how we're the antidote to all the manufactured shit that's in that charts now

actually call yourself 'ear drummers'

all-purpose band member quote for every occasion: "it's all a bit rubbish, innit?"

Steady there, Acker broke the US in a way Oasis, Blur, Stone Roses etc etc could only dream of.

Get Racoon Tanuki involved with this band ffs

There is a part of me that would love to dress up like a shit failed mod for the hilarity factor. Comb over the bald spot, try not to look like a crimewatch photo-fit and wear a completely ill fitting suit for the first time in my life, viola! instant ace face tragedy! Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

I'll be over in March! I'll bring some tunes. It's all about the tunes. The tunes and the passion.

Swinford Mods here we go.

He is featured in this Guardian article which doesn't really belong on this thread. I'd guess he was having a laugh but some might say* that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

ah sorry to derail and ask on this light-hearted thread - very interesting article, not really seen anyone try to draw conclusions like that before. my mum is from glin, though i guess your uncle is the man talking about artane.

Yeah that's him, I shouldn't really be posting it on here but just thought it would add a bit of light to the incident I mentioned upthread.

american equivalent is depicted here (our version of the ridic press kit statements)

This is a WYP photo-fit of a guy who stole about six quid in an armed robbery of an independent pet shop in Mirfield.

The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his late teens to early 20s

I used to work in regional news about 7/8 years ago and we did a lot of stories that came via the police, about a bookies being robbed or whatever. It was fairly common for the police press release to just say "the suspect is described as a black male". But if it was a white person they'd be wearing "a distinctive orange sports top" or whatever.

I guess what I'm getting at is, why didn't all those black criminals wear more distinctive clothes?

Does the phone number warrant inclusion here?

you could phone them up and ask them i suppose?

Out of interest I put the number into Whatsapp. I think they're all about 14 years old.

Actually 14 is a bit generous

dude on the far-right seems more interested in his bandmates crotch tbf

a tiny bit more electro than the thread's remit but does any cunt remember chikinki

http://www.styleleague.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/chikinki_pressefoto_1_low_res.jpg

i don't know about any cunt but i remember chikinki, they had a couple of neat tunes

heard some soldier on the other day, it did not impress

this documentary from the mid 90s about lanarkshire lad-rock band the gyres is about the funniest thing on the internet. like a spinal tap of post-oasis lad-bands, except these cunts are for real.

terrible quality sadly

that rip of Gene Clark's "Tried So Hard" in the middle of a field of llamas was weirdly moving

There is one of these bands on the train into London, I think they got on at Wakefield

They have southern accents though, perhaps they are going home

I made a mistake, they got off the train, and there were around 12 of them. I think they were coming back from a school trip. one of them looked like he was in one of these bands, he was the only one I saw. The very loud drunk one was a different person and i only saw him when they all got off. He looked like a minor royal in a navy sweater

Nearby there were two women who didnt know each other, then they got talking and i could overhear them, and they knew some of the same places and they warmed to each other, but a little later as inhibitions dropped i think one realized the other wasn't the sort of person she liked at all. By this point the other one was suddenly quite drunk and didnt notice the first one stopped enjoying the conversation
