Based in Halifax the band play country wide and are heavily influenced by bands such as Stones, The Who and Oasis. Plenty of original material as well.

So, for our readers who haven’t come across you yet, how would you describe the band?
We pride our sound on being unique and try not to be like many others.
Can you describe the band in 3 words?
Fucking mega mate!
Desert Island disc?
Oasis, Definitely Maybe – easy!

The Mary Hopkins version is perfectly charming. It is a Russian song from the great terror era so I'm sure the inherent tragedy that is imbued in it wasn't lost at all on these sensitive artistes :p

We're apparently in the midst of another great terror era... if ILX is to be believed.

Was thinking the other day watching the (not very good) ''Thoroughly Modern Millie'' - at this point in time, the Lennonisms being aped here are older than McCartney's ''granny'' tropes, Millie's roaring-twenties nostalgia (also for then-still-living grannies) or the general Edwardian bicycle-built-for-two steez were in the mid-to-late-60s. Surely it will have to run out of steam eventually, right?

this documentary from the mid 90s about lanarkshire lad-rock band the gyres is about the funniest thing on the internet. like a spinal tap of post-oasis lad-bands, except these cunts are for real.
