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

h/t, noodle vague, this campaq frontman is pretty hilarious

not going to deny it.
apparently, after his pop star world, he went onto the lucrative world of belt buckles.
i kid you not.

FUR are William Murray, Flynn Whelan, William Tavener and Harry Saunders. They describe their music as being like "if a 1960s band were doing something modern"

Well, I'm sold.

They describe their music as being "oh don't mind us, hope we aren't in your way, sorry, if it's an imposition we'll leave now, sorry"

Pretty sure one of them knocked up my sister and now I have a nephew called Liam

Watch the fuck out Runcorn and St. Helens, we're coming your way.

Aw, FUR look kind of sweet and not very swaggering at all.

Yeah but that description of their music was too good to leave out

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.

I lived in and around Camden mid-to-late 90s and definitely saw at least one early Campag Velocet gig at the Dublin Castle plus Lo-Fis on several occasions - better live than on record. Their second album is actually pretty good, but almost completely ignored.

this feels like the appropriate place for this

eww

i suppose the joke is that it's a sunburst finish. does anyone think of them as a strat band though? only really think of them playing semis and then les pauls

anyhow, every day i walk my dog past one massive house in a fancy street that has like two range rovers in the spacious driveway and through one window i always see this huge framed reproduction of that that album cover on the wall and if you're wondering who would spend a grand on this crappy-looking thing well there's your answer

a google image search of live photos reveals, as you said, mostly hollowbody gibsons or les pauls, few other quirky things

“Picture the quintessential rock band…”

“We’re not sex drugs and rock and roll,” Caleb says, laughing. “We’re just rock and roll.”

That's me sold

that is actually true, but not in a way that exonerates either party

a mix between Regular Fries and Campag Velocet with 1/8 the swagger of Dumpy's Rusty Nuts

Drummer. The elephant in the room here is that someone reads the Alloa & Hillfoots Advertiser.

looks like one erection or whatever they are called!

“Imagine The Rolling Stones creating an album with The Doors jamming with Primal Scream...This is Hardwicke Circus. Transforming their influences into their own originality, this night was one to remember for some time to come.”

Paul Mccartney requested that they play at Glastonbury. The singer can't decide whether to impersonate Paul Weller or Terry Hall. I guess the mild 2 Tone sax and piano bits make it slightly different to the usual run of the mill Oasis/Roses shash. But they're just underwhelming and inoffensive really.

imagine second rate liam gallagher, richard ashcroft and miles hunt lookalikes copying a u2 joshua tree era photo shoot in a local field...

otm

irresistible memories of nod from the neph, from the lads bookending that photo

no one throws mouldy flour at bands any more

the infamous neph drug bust after a cleaner spotted bags of white flour in their hotel room was a classic

i think earlier in this thread people have talked about the strangeness of the promo copy for these bands but "Transforming their influences into their own originality, this night was one to remember for some time to come” is a delightful word salad

The piano and sax line makes it sound more Springsteen to me than your usual lads group. This tune is better than many things posted on this thread.

It's kinda like a Bosstones song.

Bosstones here to teach the Brits a thing or two about "swagger"

If you'd have told me to picture the Bosstones, I would've imagined more hats

They have them but seven of them had new haircuts to show off

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1120009349999595520/CvjdQNNS_400x400.jpg

this is my incredibly annoying dickhead cousin who used to wear hats all the time until his wealthy gf paid for a hair transplant and then the hats mysteriously became less frequent. Next time I see him I'll tell him there is no cure for spiritual baldness and his repertoire of Beatles/Oasis/Coldplay covers is fucking lame!

That makes it sound worse tbh.

Makes it sound more with-the-swagger-of-Boomtown-Rats tbh.

Pete Doherty is a helluva drug
