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."

The Assist are a 4 piece indie/alternative band from Walsall. The lads have a huge passion for real music, and their honest, hard hitting lyrics speak for themselves. It’s music that anyone can identify with from sing along anthems to infectious guitar riffs.
If you like your indie rock served with an energetic finish and a midlands accent, The Assist will effortlessly float your boat.

Birmingham band HANKKS channel the best indie rock and roll that has come before them into new single, ‘Stepping Stone’, to create a pleasingly refreshing tune, with a frontman who even looks a little bit like early Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner.
In what are early days for this new band they have brought out a single which electrifies from the first few bars of drumming. Even after multiple plays the groovy guitar hook that bursts in after the intro and plays through most of the song is very infectious and memorable. The song has assured and abrasive vocals echoing Liam Gallagher, and lyrics that are original enough, even though thematically simple, to have sing-along value. A confident instrumental two thirds of the way through makes the whole package seem like a very professional rock song.
It’s certainly fair to say that if this band continues to bring out songs of this standard, they could be playing to gradually increasing crowds in the future; and with each show posing the question “Do I really love you, or are you just my stepping stone?”

With the sorts of haircuts Paul Weller has unleashed over the few decades he should not be giving anyone style advice.

Rory - that's always a tough one! It's forever changing man! I think we've got a unique style with a shot loads of influences. From the Beatles to the fuckin sex pistols!
Scott - Inspiration for songs come from anywhere really? A saying, some written words u see about, someone's situation or your own !
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A BAND JUST STARTING OUT ?
Rory - Just make sure you are as tight as a Sharks arsehole ! Practise, work hard and learn from your mistakes.
Scott - And just write good fucking tunes !!
SUM UP YOUR BAND IN 3 WORDS ?
Rory - Rock And Roll !
Scott - Best Unsigned Band !
WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE BAND ?

trying to decide what's funnier, hyping the band based on the frontman's passing resemblance to the way a guy in another band used to look, or based on the song still being listenable "even after multiple plays"

This is how it's always been. In 1975 they were all touchstoning The Faces. Whereas in 2015, they are all touchstoning, um, oh yeah..
