Played that game a few months ago. I think Bonehead was the level three boss.

"Ahreet pal" version.

‘working class’ friendly,

Still wrestling with this concept tbh.

Just realised that their name is literally a combination of a Shed Seven and a Sleeper song.

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

Wow it's exactly like the Fast Show 'Indie Club' sketch I posted earlier.

Opening chords "single-handedly capture everything that was great about the 90's" -> "same chords as Wonderwall but in a different order"

the_ecuador_three, Thursday, 2 April 2015 16:04 (nine years ago) link

Except Noel never mastered playing chords with one hand.

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

So it actually is a previously unheard single dug out of the Gallagher brothers' arsehole of best forgotten songs?

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.

I know you get the aggressive ones but a lot of them are quite friendly one shouldn't generalise imo

We're resonating with young people because no one else is doing the big guitars and chorus thing," he said, explaining Catfish And The Bottlemen gigs were full of "40-year old men who tell me: 'I've been waiting for a band like yours since Oasis'."

Those guys are horrendous misogynist fucks who can fuck right off. Ugh.

I'm nearly 40 and've been dreading the exact same thing

Just sayin, kind of a slow day at work today so if anyone's got some more of these rubes to clown, don't hold back

Think those charges of misogyny have been completely rebutted.

“I mean, our manager is female,” says the singer. “I love women and hold doors open for them.

Is there any band of this kind successful in the UK at the moment ?

AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 15:17 (nine years ago) link

See the first pic on this thread.

Blighty, where wankers just wanna be adored

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:12 (nine years ago) link

See the first pic on this thread.

It's certainly a silly question but who are they ?
So this genre is still popular in the UK ?
I think the last time I heard of a band more or less in this field it was arctic monkeys a few years ago.
I don't even know if their music is relevant for the description in this thread.

AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:25 (nine years ago) link

That is Kasabian. They are quite successful.

The other bands on this thread, less so.

Mark G, Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link

no expert here but that's definitely a case of actual personality trumping front

yeovil knievel (NickB), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 16:37 (nine years ago) link

Best thing to say is that a lot of these acts operate a fly by night popularity along with the worst dregs of OG Britpop

reminder that 'She's Got Standards' by The Rifles is a stealth contender for worst song of the 00s http://www.lyricsmania.com/shes_got_standards_lyrics_rifles_the.html

pissbaby nobody in the corner (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 16 April 2015 10:08 (nine years ago) link

it does also feature music and it is obviously dreadful but if you want to listen to it that's your call

pissbaby nobody in the corner (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 16 April 2015 10:10 (nine years ago) link

good grief

yeovil knievel (NickB), Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:02 (nine years ago) link

some more choice lyrics:

She has a face to die for,
But nothing going on inside,
She'll never make your eyes sore,
Until she starts to speak her mind.

So I'll just try to keep the conversation right,
Then in the morning at the door I'll give a kiss goodbye.

Now I'm not being mean, in fact I'm being quite polite,
All I'm trying to say is that you won't catch her on mastermind.

yeovil knievel (NickB), Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:04 (nine years ago) link

I'm sure they're lovely lads in real life though

Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 April 2015 11:13 (nine years ago) link

I somehow don't think we'll catch him on Mastermind either.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them on Crimewatch though

"You've chosen as your specialist subject, 'Slags'. What was it that first got you interested in slags?"

Every man pictured in this thread looks like he combs his hair with a rock.

saw a poster for the rifles' upcoming 10th anniversary shows. field trip for the 'a mix between...' thread, perhaps?

What Oasis still represent to this wide spectrum of people is that idea of a band doing things completely on their own terms and triumphing over ”manufactured” music. Oasis didn’t even make a dedicated video for Some Might Say (Liam didn’t turn up to the shoot, and a clip had to be cobbled together from footage shot for Cigarettes and Alcohol). Nor did they, unlike the supposedly more alternative-minded likes of Blur and Pulp, utilise that most execrable of 90s fan-extortion tactics – the multi-edition CD single – to pump up its chart position. They didn’t, it turned out, need to play either of these games. Their songs and their attitude was enough.

Imagine if the world actually did seem still obsessed w Oasis tho

At the more specialist end of the media scale, consider also that NME – a magazine that is in theory primarily for teenagers keen to discover the hottest new bands – has published three Noel Gallagher covers already this year, and 21 Oasis-related covers in the six or so years since they ceased to exist.

Yeah, we've noticed, as have the countless number of people that complain about it online every time it happens.
