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

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.

‘working class’ friendly,

Still wrestling with this concept tbh.

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.

hahaha I was about to c&p that bit

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

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

See the first pic on this thread.

Blighty, where wankers just wanna be adored

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.

That is Kasabian. They are quite successful.

The other bands on this thread, less so.

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

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

poor 'the rifles':

who would do such a mean thing?

NEW ALBUM NONE THE WISER OUT NOW

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

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

good grief

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.

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

that guy looks like a papier maché head of liam gallagher

i wonder what his life is like

just a guy kickin back and cuttin loose with some guinness from a can in a plastic cup

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

wd enjoy the matey banter with john humphries bit

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?

Swagger. And sideburns.

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.

can't wait to see if the complaints cease the oasis covers

Spoiler: they won't.

wait so Catfish and the Blowfish are an actual band that people are supposed to actually like? I thought they were just some no-marks off of this thread

every generation throws a northern uproar to the pop charts

went on this thread at work today all un-logged in and there was an advert for the Vaccines at the top, gotta say Google Ads know their market

Do I get a prize for spotting that the first pic ("skateboarding" idiot and his three chums) was taken on London Bridge? No, I though not!

The current band line up of Daniel Allison (Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar), Ben Wapples (Lead Guitar), Joe Fowley (Bass /Backing Vocals), Steve Regan (Keyboards /Backing Vocals) and Andrew Berry (Drums /Percussion) formed just over eighteen months ago and their explosive live performances around the country have seen them build an ever increasing fan base. Taking their inspiration and attitude from the likes of Artic Monkeys, Sleaford Mods, The pigeon Detectives and Peace, the new EP will see New Vinyl more than confirm their growing reputation as one of the most exciting bands around right now.

the band's name is New Vinyl
