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

sonic guitar riffs and singer Luke Shield’s comfortable vocal

love sonic riffs & comfortable vocals

The band look to be bringing back that 60s/70s retro sound, much like Kula Shaker did in the 90s, but making it fresh for the current climate.

much like tame impala did in the 10s?

these guys no doubt view tame impala as beyond the pale due to the addition of verboten innovations such as computers and effects pedals that make sounds beyond 'guitars, but slightly more distorted'

much like 98.6 percent of indie bands from 1986 onwards did in the 1986 onwardses

TiTORS iNSiGNiA do not only prove a great sense of music by offering a varied and complex compilation of songs on ‘Fair City Riots’, they do also showcase an unaltered and enthralling sound which is distinctive of dynamic drum (Ste Swift), thrilling and skillfully staged guitar (lead guitar: Rob James, rhythm guitar: Stu Oggy) and emphatic bass (Peter Murphy) cooperation, and also marked by powerful vocals (Stu Oggy), at times edgy, at times rather soft in sonority yet constantly bearing a raw and sharp timbre. The band knows that the music genre they shine most, is pure and intense Rock’N’Roll, a tribute and revival to classic rock anthems, and that’s why their music is convincing to such an extent. It shows that the band members are experienced and firm musicians and that their overall sound is an established and expressive one, a sound TiTORS iNSiGNiA can identify with, moreover a sound TiTORS iNSiGNiA feels comofortable with. It’s this confidence and charisma that wins the listener over, that has convinced me the very first time I listened to the band’s music.

What would you say is your key influences?

Rob: Everything you can think of, I was brought up listening to the Beatles, Oasis and Ocean Color Scene. For me I think my key influence is Paul Weller and the music of the Jam. I also am very interested in the classic soul roots of Mod music-particularly Eddie Floyd.

The Universal - Britrocks Best Dressed Band

"As sharp musically as they are in attire, Liverpool quartet The Universal apply timeless values of upbeat melodic British rock songwriting to a sharp-dressed 2012 model."

It's certainly not just the dress sense that's pin sharp with these guys from Merseyside. The Universal's music is bursting with enough quality to make a Saville Row suit. Like a guitar driven mix of Paul Weller, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, and The Reel People, you cannot help but be impressed by the four pieces musical prowess. With T3rry Sh@ughn3ssy pulling, as well as strumming, the strings, his songwriting equals that of Mssrs Weller and Gallagher, (big boots to fill!!), and thats as well as singing and playing guitar. Is This England is almost a tribute to what the British music and other industries used to be, before the likes of X-Factor (excuse my language) became such an unfortunate influence on todays record sales. Satellites is a much slower but equally strong track. I fact, I'd stick my neck out and say that there is not a 'weak' track that I've heard.

It's difficult to say anything else other than to stronlgy advise you check these guys out as soon as you can, like NOW!!

Like a guitar driven mix of Paul Weller, Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene, and The Reel People

"The Universal's music is bursting with enough quality to make a Saville Row suit"

What does this mean? Are they trying to compare the music to fabric? Do people describe really good fabric as "bursting with quality"?

always good in a song abt history to specify which history you mean viz "past history"

xp
they're talking a load of bloody shoddy mungo!

SOUTHAMPTON band Cassava will realise their ambition of playing alongside their heroes on Wednesday when Sheffield indie-stars Milburn come to town.

okay now i know you’re definitely making these up

Manioc on the bass there

a terrible joke too far, sorry everyone

I see that the terrible Kasabian/Primal's style band my mate used to produce have finally shown up, I've been keeping an eye on the thread and knew it was only a matter of time.

Matey's vocals a particular low point.

nooooooooo

video unlike most of these looks like they had a bit of a budget behind it!

When I'd come to national shame, America has gun violence, we have this.

ffs predictive txt on my phone is so bad it spells the as tge.

Modern Faces. A true Rock n Roll band in the making, full of angst & debauchery and with confidence in spades.

funnily enough, I'd completely forgotten them in the last 1000+ days.

can you have angst and confidence in spades at the same time?

when i'm in a hole and i need to keep digging i too have confidence in spades

*feeble mod rimshot*

rimshot full of swagger

I was thinking maybe there will be a revival and these kinds of music/bands will be trendy again at some point ?
After all, there's a 90s revival atm !

i can't wait!

pop will shit itself

THEY can't wait !

when was the last time guitar bands were cool ? 2000 ?

1958

Were these sorts of bands ever cool?

swag !

JIM SAYS: The first act I caught at last year’s Tenement Trail festival in Glasgow, Vida made an immediate impression — psychedelic indie pop that sucked me in.

So I was delighted when they agreed to play my stage at the Stereofunk Festival at Strathclyde Park last month.

Again, they more than delivered. The big stage is a perfect platform for them.

They may be a five-piece, but Vida think of manager Tom Barnes as a sixth member.

Singer Jamie said: “Tommo’s part of the family. He has done us wonders. He got our music on Sky Sports, also securing a tour support with The Sherlocks.”

Tom also introduced Vida to one of their heroes, Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller guitarist Steve Cradock.

Cradock has produced the band’s new single Where We Came From.

Jamie said: “Tommo DJ’d alongside him at an event last year, and kept in contact with Steve’s personal assistant and lovely wife, Sally.

“She offered us three days in the studio with her famous husband. When we walked into his home studio we were in awe.

“We were faced with all the Ocean Colour Scene gold discs, plus his collaborations with McCartney, the Gallaghers and Weller displayed on the wall.

“An original copy of Electric Warrior by T Rex was spinning next to an incense stick burning away. The scene was set, we were in the zone.”
