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?

getting a real colin hunt vibe from the guy in the centre

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.

To be fair, I don't see how this might be different from your average metal band or deep house DJ or what have you.

They probably have tunes entitled "PIR Sensors ... Wow!".

British music back to its best! Tired of all these one-album-wonder bands who are forgotten about before you've reached the end of their album! The Revoution is here so spread the word!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZbJq5M8fn4

yup, its Colon.

Sun Reader Indie or 'Sundie' as michael b coined it

i like how 'Tired of all these one-album-wonder bands who are forgotten about before you've reached the end of their album!' has an exclamation mark not a question mark!
as if the guy is from the 17th century, striking the board and crying 'no more!'.

A facebook friend just posted this to my wall saying he has found "peak Colon"

lol at the cameo appearance by the guy who plays the vet in Emmerdale. we should have a thread for the most underwhelming 'celebrity' cameos in pop videos, Neil Kinnock in Tracey Ullman's 'My Guy' etc
