I also had this sponsored post appear on facebook the other day, which seemed ripe for this thread from the name and photo alone.
The Sherlocks, out standing in their (dad's) field. I dread to think what their MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT was.

"... itโs fair to say that Creation Records founder Alan McGee has a nose for up-and-coming guitar bands."
The last 20-odd years of his career suggests otherwise.

Still dining out on Oasis I see (who he apparently didn't even want to sign, so legend has it).

I see he's still going but has dropped the Lennon. He was probably encouraged to play up to his full given name. Poor get

The issue or issues of NME introducing all three of those bands as saviours of music was peak me buying NME as a kid.

Didn't the Campag Velocet guy mostly dress in cycling shirts? That was probably a good look by hazy memory but I'm not searching to confirm, mainly because I don't want Campag Velocet in my search history. I thought I had a 12" of theirs but turns out I was confusing them with Regular Fries. So now Campag Velocet are in my living room search history. I think the record I'm thinking of was also on Rabid Badger records lol 1998 what the fuck was I thinking. Lo-Fidelity Allstars had some bangers tho, mostly after they ditched the "singer"

โ bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic),
i f*cking loved the fries.first album in particular.the last band i have tried to get everything that was available on cd.still listen to them a lot, and to be fair, same goes for the other 2 bands.never saw any of them live, and had given buying the nme so have no idea what they looked/interviewed like, nor care.
