You can get PATCHES from their website, and everything. And you should.

six months pass...
Resurrected because the album is out today and it is cloudbursting skyscraping fantasticness, and Remember Me LEAPS from the (page) like rabbits from scissors and it makes my heart race quite a lot in a Good way and it's all billions of times better than any indieguitarband has any right to be in this day and age they are ACES.

Also when they grapple with each other onstage it is brilliant and they are collectively the most handsome band in existence and the bass-drum-ist came into the audience and let us play with his stuffed kestrel (or whatever). I'm not quite sure why but they ARE glorious.

(Obviously it's a shame that the album comes in cardboard sleeve which is doomed to disintegrate, but this probably constitutes scrabbling around for something to criticise, otherwise there's not really anything.)

i think this band are truly wonderful and i can't wait to get the LP

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 2 June 2003 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw this band recently, and was disappointed that, full of ideas as they were on their t-shirts and between-song tapes, their music was just vaguely tuneful indie and plain.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

somehow i just cant imagine anything called "british sea power" being good

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

how about if they were called 'eat my fuc'

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

first british indie single i'd have ever bought in that case

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 2 June 2003 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

My friend does their press. She's been trying to get me to understand them for ages. She takes me to their concerts. I say "But I DOOOO understand them, and the world only needs *ONE* Echo and the Bunnymen".

Dud.

The patches are nice, though. But this is the naughties equivalent of being a T-shirt band.

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 07:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Two listens to the album thus far - I like it. I also like the cover and the fact that they have plants onstage with them.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I've tried so very hard to like this band, at the behest of the same Friend Of Kate's, but...well, I've failed, on at least six separate occasions. The album's pretty fuckdull too. Explanations please?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

They have, erm, stuffed OWLS on their stage. And erm, stuff.

Apparently, they run a club in Brighton that is supposed to be quite good. But seeing as I hate Brighton Hipsters just about more than anything else on earth (including Shoreditch hipsters - I mean, at least Shoreditch hipsters live somewhere remotely interesting. FOr fucksake, how can you be HIP when you are stuck in a seaside resort?) that's not likely to sway me.

NB: I don't hate them because they are from Brighton. Some of my best friends live in Brighton. I hate them because they sound like a piss-poor Echo and the Bunnymen tribute band.

And the STARING. Oh god, the STARING, how pretentious can you get?

It saddens me that one of my friends - and a jolly good musician to boot - went and JOINED THEM. What was he thinking? Now I have to mumble and avoid the topic at parties. "So how are you doing?" "Quite good, just got back from tour of..." "Have some MORE WINE?!?!?" It's awkward. ;-)

(Some of this post may or may not be serious.)

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Two songs - which are Peter Murphy rip-offs otherwise just another sub-par bastard features goth band.

Cross the street, lest they stare.

― doom-e, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 09:47 (twenty-two years ago)

FOr fucksake, how can you be HIP when you are stuck in a seaside resort?

*Nick starts sobbing uncontrollably...*

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 09:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you really want to be HIP, though? Hip != Cool.

"Hip" implies a certain style lab cutting-edginess to it. I am just about prepared to accept that denizens of Shoreditch are "Hip". But a bunch of seaside wannabees pretending that they don't live in a sleepy dump? I don't think so. You are NOT hip. You are not even cool. Now go away.

(In case you can't tell, "Hip" is a derisive terms as far as I am concerned. But we shan't open that can of worms again.)

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 10:02 (twenty-two years ago)

That's alright then. The 'hipsters' who inhabit the Stylus board are always slagging me off for not being hip enough. I guess I'm right not to be gutted then.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

If anything, the ability to remain cool while still living in a sleepy seaside dump = far more admirable than aping what ever style-lab-generated trends have been imported in via some hipster club.

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick in admirable shockah!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Heard it once, on the bus on the way to work. am liking muchly - unsure if the new version of Remember Me improves on the original. But Fear Of Drowning is ace.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd rather be hip on a sunny beach eating candyfloss than on a shit stained London quarter that has really bad pollution levels and old kebab meat on the floor.

― ss, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd rather not be hip at all.

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but if you had to choose..

― ss, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway what do you mean, Lollies aren't hip?

― ss, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

If you're in Brighton, go sit on the beach! Go fly a kite! Go hiking or sailing or swimming or bloody ANYTHING except hang around in some smelly nightclub listening to stale old hipstermuzique.

Nightclubs are fucking unpleasant no matter where they are.

(Yes, I am becoming a curmudgeon.)

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway what do you mean, Lollies aren't hip?

Thanks for giving me the laugh of the year!

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

No really! I have one of yr songs on a very hip (to be square) limited edition Ladyfest Tour 7"

― ss, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought I couldn't laugh harder than the last time you made me laugh!

But I just did!!!

― kate, Tuesday, 3 June 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

nine years pass...

"when a warm wind blows through the grass" isn't bad either
