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

also, Nomad Hat Tour

this is my cousin dom (the one with swagger/haircut of the beatles and the hair transplant of Wayne Rooney who is pointing at Harold Wilson statue) with his over 60's ukulele band.

Twisted Wheel have more depth than some critics gave them credit for: “I was getting compared to Dylan, Cohen, Donovan before Twisted Wheel then we became a band and playing those same songs then getting called lad rock,” he says. “That’s bloody bone idleness to be honest. They try and destroy you people. There's a lot of jealously out there. You normally find people who are instigating stuff like that are out of bands who aren’t getting anywhere in their own band.” Brutal.

Based on a cursory listen to their 2012 single 'Ride', they're mildly preferable to Greta Van Fleet.

Their latest, 'Nomad Hat', is vaguely listenable. I don't hate the stuff, possibly due to some lingering exoticism.

Yer actual Alan McGee appears to be plugging this lot at the moment.

jfc

not at the McGee thing, that seems totally in character

just jfc

McGees Finest Preserves - still ideal for filling up them empty spaces in your pantry.

Nice that they've allow a Zika virus victim to front the band.

Of course, it takes 6 (six) of them to cover the kind of shite any half decent trio could do in their sleep

Ahah. Will Britain ever stop producing these bands ? Or maybe there will eventually be a revival of this genre one day !

I have to accept what my beautiful thread has been reduced to so I guess we can discuss theory now but mark's post is relevant and important this is essentially a history of rhythmless chunky English lads and the time line goes back at least as far as moorish "dancing"

Can't remember if the Abbot's Bromley horn dance has already appeared in this thread but it's also U&K and there's a fruitful cross-pollination to be made with the funkless arm-flailing of rave culture

the dream it is dying

the mods are becoming plods :(

'appen the hard faced bastids at Budworth Hardcastle are bent on de-swaggering the UK

the pervert’s guide to insolvency

There's something nearly poignant about loads of the circa 2015 images being reduced to an indistinguishable blur due to Photobucket's swingeing share policy. It's as if these are bands were so unremarkable they aren't even retained in the memoryscape of this thread, just a hazy blur of swaggering Parkas, fading away like a dream upon waking.

xp and that post is more poetic than any of the shit that these bands have put out.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Transit vans on fire off the shoulder of the M4. I watched British Sea Power glitter in the dark near the T in the Park Slam Tent. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

holy shit lock thread

my cous Dom 2nd from right, taken back in the days before he needed his lover to expensively pay for some of his arse-hairs to be transplanted onto his head.

Aww

tbf on the lad, he's the most handsome one!

Even with arse hairs on his head.

These four generic chumps are called... The Amazons.

I wouldn't call anyone wearing a nudie suit "generic", personally

I'm gonna assume they don't know Greek mythology

Released one year apart but they seem to have aged a lot more than that

but the style... the style is timeless

Piller looks like he's having a good rummage

yes "the corner" does have a very fancy parquet sidewalk what of it

stool rock finally making that long-anticipated comeback

love that they managed to capture the exact moment when Freeman is anxiously wondering if he left the iron on over his second most hideous pair of dayglo slacks
