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

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

dude on the far-right

c'mon, you can't know that

The saying 'can't see the wood for the trees' could easily be applied to Manchester's music scene... So many bands, so much attitude, so much history. Keen to stand apart from their contemporaries, The Jade Assembly are in this for the long haul and for the right reasons, nothing is fabricated or posed, their attitude comes from an inescapable force of conviction in their music.
From the passion of Watson and Danny's rhythm section, to the raw power of Smed's guitar work, each Jade Assembly tune has a clear sense of purpose, nothing is contrived.
Central to their main point of difference is John Foster (Foz), a true northern poet and songwriter that places honesty above favour, a frontman who possesses an imposing sense of belief, not devoid of arrogance - but full of commitment.
As John puts it "Every word counts. Some people can't see the wood for the trees, but if you don't see The Jade Assembly - you're missing the best bit of the forest..."

Our Fold are a growing group of like minded musical people lead by a 4 piece alternative indie/rock band from Bolton. Selling out local shows in and around Manchester, the momentum is growing after every show. Gainging support from the likes of XFM, BBC 6 Music and Amazing radio, the band are currently working on finishing the debut album that should be ready to pleasure your ear canals late 2014.

Hugo Chavez lost weight huh

someone is v pleased with that 'pleasure your ear canals' line, it also appears on their twitter bio

Surprisingly, the singer the bloke from Jade Assembly recalls most is Eddie Vedder.

Biography
Damien Robertson and Shaun Drysdale fucked about writing songs but after a good piss up and the introduction of wee Dodge (Craig Reid - who also plays bass for City Rain) and the further introduction of Craig Dyce and Mikey Ward they formed muggers lane in Nov 06 in Dunfermline. The self-acclaimed stars of the future, have impressed with their strong lyrics and belief in their musical potential. This is a band to watch for 2007.

Muggers Lane are a Fife based band with a blend of Indie, Punk, Dance and good old fashioned Rock and Roll, Muggers Lane originally formed in 2007 only to split up in 2008.
In this short time Muggers Lane gained a large following and a reputation as one of Scotland's best up and coming bands at a time when the talent was rife.
In May 2013 Muggers Lane reformed with all the original members, they are now ready to make their mark on the UK music scene.

Forming from the ashes of their previous projects, this band is different from any local band I’ve ever seen prior. Not necessarily in how they sound, but in how so early on intotheir infant career, they appear very, very ambitious and driven to achieve. There is no point in setting yourself a target if you could hit it now and that’s exactly what this band haven’t done. In fact, I believe that to be the very reason why, Chasin’ Vegas – armed with their fantastic and relevant debut single, ‘Times Are Hard’ – are about to prevail in injecting a much needed dose of British Rock back into the veins of Essex’s current cover-band infested music circuit, and succeed in helping true, patriotic guitar music get back on its feet.

When the age of decent guitar music, weakened and crumbled under the pressures put on it by major record labels and later on, the introduction of reality T.V shows, this band, amidst the rubble, desperately clung to a chunk of Britpop debris in the hope of one day being able to use it to piece back together the very essence and nostalgia of that period – and, in doing so, they have now perfectly, inhibited it into their sound.

The track itself then – the reason we are all here – is exactly what you’d expect from a band fronted by a man that, when donned with his jet-black shades and his mod-esquehaircut, could easily be the musical offspring of Liam Gallagher and whoever he recently had an affair with – but when reservedly sat with a guitar in his lap, acquires the melodic capability of Noel – a trait prominent in this single.

It pours with an oasis of screeching guitar riffs and solos that are executed exquisitely by lead guitarist, Ryan Wadey, and in the space of the opening ten seconds, the first four chords – courtesy of frontman and lyrical whizz, Tony Clarke – single-handedly capture everything that was great about the ‘90’s and consistently as the track goes on, audaciously looks to re-implement the beauty of that era onto a generation that’s currently brainwashed by the ripples of Nicki Minaj’s ‘twerking’ backside.

Yes, admittedly, you wouldn’t be wrong if you were to initially think that this was a previously, un-heard single dug out of the Gallagher brothers’ archive of forgotten songs, but then again, who really cares? I don’t. ‘Times Are Hard’ may not be experimental, new or revolutionary in how its sound harks drastically back to a now sadly bygone era, but at the end of the day, it’s a brilliant, ‘working class’ friendly, belterof an anthem that grabs life by the bollocks and tells it to fuck off. It’s exciting and gritty. It’s real – something that pop-culture today, truly isn’t.

fucking hell

"Fuck off, life"

wow

for some reason this thread quickly shifted from laughable to deeply melancholic when i read the phrase "this is a band to watch for 2007"

'twat a more innocent time

'inhibited'

but then again, who really cares? I don’t.

There is no point in setting yourself a target if you could hit it now and that’s exactly what this band haven’t done

There is no point

All this nostalgia for the mystical sun-drenched mid-90s is making me feel very old.
