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

Yeah hearing zero heavy metal or madchester influence in that.

the OG Stone Roses used to talk a big game about their eclectic influences while they were releasing C86 b-side-alikes

actually, this is making me think of the Klaxons, who were meant to be a mix of acid house, p-funk, Tangerine Dream, Thomas Pynchon etc etc

iirc when Kasabian first came out all their proclaimed influences were hipster/namecheckable bands as well

them having a song called Avin It In Ibiza is basically what I'm talking about here, ie they're more or less the same as the other bands itt but advanced one irony level

no metal guitar. all liam g style singing. Sounds like every other dad rock uk band

iirc when Kasabian first came out all their proclaimed influences were hipster/namecheckable bands as well

I believe Krautrock was mentioned, I'm sure they must have got that from Primal Scream (the group led by Krautrock pioneer, Boab Gillespie)

haha. Flesh are 20X better than anything else I've sampled from this thread.

prostate biopsy>>actually listening to any of this shit!

The look seems to be m/c kids blowing their student grants in Sports Direct

fuelled by minimum-wage venting and an affinity for second hand sportswear.

disconnect between press release's fearsome concepts and group's pedestrian britpop is v https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClcwKgxu2wk but i did not entirely hate fresh

The band dubbed the second coming of Oasis have ripped into the British music scene - and some of the biggest Britpop icons agree with them.

The Manchester five-piece are being managed by Oasis svengali Alan McGee.

The band is made up of Maz Behdjet, Sean O'Donnell, James Sweeney, Nick Repton and Colin Ward.

Sean said: “Like millions in this country I can't relate to the corporate sh*** all over the place at the minute. How can anyone on a building site or in a factory pick up a paper on their break and relate to some toff **** moaning about how hard it is being in a band and relate to that? They have the life we all want!

“Our ambition is to get f***ing jet lag. We see touring as a lads’ holiday.

“I'd rather read a story about Ozzy Osborne biting a bat’s head off than the boring corporate-moulded stiffs in the charts at the minute. F*** that.”

McGee told Mirror Celeb: "They are good working class lads in a sea of middle class mediocrity disguised as talent.

"They are supporting Shaun Ryder and Black Grape at the moment and if they're told they have to climb in the van with him and go to a gig for a hundred quid they'll do it. They are up for any task. They don't give a f***."

When asked if they were the new Oasis, he said: “They’re wilder than Oasis.”

But he added: "They are hooligans with a heart of gold and give a lot to food banks."

And McGee told Mirror Celeb that while he was excited about Alias Kid he wouldn't even go and watch an Oasis reunion, much less be involved in one.

Ryder agreed, saying: "They’re an exciting band and all good lads! A great song writing team and they’re all stand up comics too."

The indy group may be influenced by Oasis, the Stone Roses, Kasabian and McGee's other discovery Primal Scream, but he says it is their work ethic that sets them apart from today's manufactured acts.

McGee said: "If someone wins The Voice the first thing I think is 'poor f***er' because that's the last we'll hear of them."

Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets said they "have the potential to be one of the great Manchester bands."

They told the Daily Star Sunday: "There's no rock and roll anymore - no one's out there having fun. That's what we want to bring back - just a band playing good music and having a good time.

"People go on about how hard life is touring. What are they on about? It's the best job ever. You get to go round with your mates playing music and having a party. What's hard about that?"

According to the Star, Sean was arrested for launching an egg at 10 Downing Street and fined for trashing a hotel room while listening to the Sex Pistols.

So the band have found their Liam, then!

Revolt to Revolt by Alias Kid is out now.

Manchester's new bad boy rockers have released their newest single and the characteristic swagger of predecessors like Oasis and the Stone Roses is apparent.

The band have won praise from indy rockers from Kasabian and the Stone Roses but are determined that their sound is their own.

wow, Garry Bushell has really been putting the hours in plugging these guys on twitter

the fast show sketch comes to life with Colon Alias Kid

think Garry may have been cribbing from this thread when compiling his podcast: http://litopia.com/shows/hungry/

wouldn't be surprised to see a group of people looking just like flesh hanging around in e.g. camberwell college of arts, tho that particular fashion intersection is probably for another thread

Er, do you spend much time at Camberwell?

'our ambition is to get fucking jet lag' seems like an achievable goal, good work lads

two separate Mirror articles in 4 days! wtf..

baffling all this chat about touring being a lad's holiday and a party and a laugh. going in with that attitude you'd be shattered by the 2nd week let alone the 2nd album.

Also LOL at the idea that they should be applauded for playing a gig for £100.

'fined for trashing a hotel room while listening to the Sex Pistols' is almost unbearably sad. imagine johnny rotten tearing shit up to a soundtrack of the inkspots or glenn miller

from soref's link:

Steven Berkoff Vs. Garry Bushell!
Heavyweight Friday Night SmackDown 24th July 6pm

deathmatch hopefully

The bad boy rockers' single doesn't have very much swagger. It sounds like the Real People or something.

fined for trashing a hotel room while listening to the Sex Pistols.

i didn't know you could get fined for listening to the sex pistols.

when did indie become indy

no you don't understand indy is what we named the dog

I had a couple of The Real People early 12 inches/EPs and think I even saw them live but without googling I have absolutely no idea what any of their songs are or what they sound like (other than - I'm guessing - jangly, indie pop).

Real Music made by Real People with Real Guitars

didn't Cher have a big hit with a Real People song? Or was that someone else?

You what?

Bobby Kennedy’s Acid is a powerhouse combo of attitude past and extraordinarily present. With nuances of British punk and Smart Aleck barbs of alt-rock tongue-in-cheek, Kennedy weaves a dark and majestically diverse composite of original material. Flying miles above the current landscape of narcissistic hipsters and talentless divas, Kennedy’s sound is like an F-22 Raptor on its way to drop a payload full of rock and roll pandemonium on the latest “Bier” garden.

(continues for another 8 paragraphs)

I've heard of the rest of them, but who are these "The Beatles"?

Featuring 10 no-nonsense gems, Tales Of Contempt flows in seamless and mayhem-driven continuity. If you’re a fan of bands such as Love And Rockets, The Plimsouls, The Godfathers, The Beatles, The Damned and The Presidents Of The United States Of America, Tales Of Contempt is a record you’re going to want to revisit on a regular basis.

Do these people form a band with the manifesto of being "like, the BEST indie band there's ever been" as a deliberate effort to reach the platonic essence of indiebollocks, or is it subconscious / accidental?

odds of that being a tip to The Mindy Project are v slim

"NO ONE will be able to DOUBT that we are an INDIE BAND because I will wear A SCARF and the drummer will be called GOBBO."

What exactly do you call this haircut that they all keep getting? "Give me the Liam Gallagher/Paul Weller/Johnny Marr/etc."? Long in the front, waaay longer on the sides, spiky in the back, kinda licked down on top.

Ah, Sheffield (and Chesterfield in this case). It is always the place, and always will be for the best of Brit indie rock. No exception to this phenomenon are young four-piece The Time Sellers, currently relentlessly gigging the area, with a solid sound and an already impressive catalogue of tunes on SoundCloud.

Taking inspiration and adapting from some of the traditional mod-rockers of times gone by, such as The Libertines, The Jam and The Stone Roses, The Time Sellers highlight the rising fresh take on British rock for a new generation and times. Recently unveiling two new tracks, ‘Apathy (Take You Out)’ and ‘Wait’, the band successfully prove how musical styles can diversify, through reinforcing and maturing their heavy guitar style with prominent catchy hooks – no better heard than in the moody, ‘Apathy’.

Drawling out; “I wait on your reply/And you constantly let me down”, vocalist James Bull kicks into a funky groove before hitting us with the cynicism and angst of teenage romance and its trials and tribulations. There is a clear pattern within the tracks of The Time Sellers, who effectively build their songs on an often deceiving, charming and collected verse structure, before blasting out a rush of raw energy and passion in the chorus – with the harsh vocals and thrash guitar segments – reminding us of their raw passion and gritty influences.

While some of us may roll our eyes at yet another Sheffield band, The Time Sellers have created a unique and sophisticated sound to rise above the mass of generic indie jumble, setting themselves up for a promising year ahead.
