What about swagger though

Taking their inspiration and attitude from the likes of Artic Monkeys, Sleaford Mods

They formed in 2003, inspired by 2 bands that didn't exist yet!

I thought that was Phil Elverum for a moment there

that first band are just adorable, if someone went an re-shot all of the photos from this thread with identical clothing/poses etc but 13 year old kids instead of grown men they would all be transformed from objectionable to adorable imo

Formed in 2011 from the ashes of three bands the life-long friends have now set about bringing their own unique passionate, enigmatic and sleazy twist on Rock n Roll. During their short time together the powerful five piece band have played to packed crowds throughout the UK and have received critical acclaim from some of the biggest names in the music industry. Now they find themselves with the world at their feet and with their swagger, self-belief, catchy songs and an unstoppable desire to entertain.

They're playing some menacing, addictive and anthemic Rock 'n' Roll, in an Oasis stylee certainly but with their own very firmly placed stamp on it......and news just in is.....they've been nominated for Best Alt/Indie act in the Scottish National Music Awards which will delight their large local following

a lot of these bands are made out of ashes - seems a health hazard

A truly exciting band who have been likened to some of the shining lights of UK indie, Vida are a British four piece who are going places. Drawing comparisons to a wide ranging indie catalogue, including the likes of Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, The Black Keys, Miles Kane and more, their growing reputation has seen them garnering recognition from some of the country’s top tastemakers.

Their new single is a double A-side release showing two of the different sides of the group. First, ‘Electric Lady’ tells the story of repeated overnight stays with the same girl after meeting on several nights out, and the awkwardness that follows the next morning. Meanwhile, ‘Fade Away’ speaks of a completely different kind of awkward – finding yourself in the same room as an ex…

Introducing snarling Southampton songsmiths The Rising. Their debut album is the kind of down and dirty garage rock that early Oasis made famous, bursting with rock and roll passion and with more punk attitude that you can shag a stick at. Front man Tommy Overington does a great Liam impression and Alan McGee is suitably impressed, declaring 'he's a star', but these boys are much more than a mere tribute and have more than enough of their own unique stamp in the locker to succeed.

If Gary Cooper met John Wayne in a showdown in a sheriffless town, in a woeld where vultures are as common as pigeons, in a land where cacti creep out of the cracks in the sandy floor, then Wet Pelican would provide the soundtrack

would LOVE to have been a fly on the wall when this photo idea was pitched. "Okay, for our press pic, let's have the singer in the light and the rest of the band be invisible shadows."

The band have a distinctive North-of-England sound that runs through many Northern bands, as they are from near Sheffield, but the difference is that although most Yorkshire-based bands in England have the electronic synthy sound that goes with their guitar riffs, Exit Calm focus on delivering the edgy, psychadelic beats through their drums.

inconvenient truth is prob that while we're here Muttley-laughing at this terrible press release copy, the great majority of ppl who read it won't really give a shit as long as it mentions the right bands and throws in some tunesmithery and time-honoured adjectives

Belfast’s latest gem from the growing new Rock 'n' Roll revival scene is "The Sass", an energetic, pulsating unit of screaming guitars, rhythmic bass lines and effortless charisma. They opened proceedings with "Jukebox", an upbeat, exuberant affair with the lyrical quality of Stereophonics played to a Cribs style riff, incorporating a Kelly Jones-esc vocal. They followed this with "Sonny's Daughter" an anthem which again highlighted the groups solidarity and synergetic qualities. Another tune which radiates optimism, reminiscent of the Libertines in their prime. Perhaps the highlight of the slot came towards the end of the set, when a note perfect rendition of The White Stripes classic, "7 Nation Army" was blended seamlessly into 80's cult smash "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics. An inspired mix, which worked perfectly and drew a great reaction from the audience, highlighting the intelligent musical minds of The Sass.
