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?

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.

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" https://youtu.be/KOxvDFeQTy4" A mix between Lonnie Donegan and Terry and Gerry, with the swagger of The Proclaimers."

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

these videos feel like they were made for the ITV Chart Show indie part. Shame the show went off the air a long time ago

watched a few more videos and I'm starting to suspect that the Zutons have cut their hair and got a new name in an attempt to make people think that this is a different band

Inspiral Carpets legend Clint Boon said: "Alias Kid have the potential to be one of THE great Manchester bands. Just give 'em time. And some decent beer. They're as exciting as Oasis. As edgy as Kasabian. As soulful as the Verve. I love 'em to bits."

That Mirror write-up has a decent shot at the "worst piece of music writing" thread. And is "indy" really the preferred spelling?

They look like same type of people you can/could see wandering down Camden High street at any point in the last few decades, with their regulation painfully tight bollock cruncher jeans and winklepickers.

"Anthemic choruses and shimmering guitars reminiscent of U2 in their prime, Judas are the realdeal. If you're looking for an antidote to unambitious guitar bands, get on them."
