Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 7 hours ago, Arch Stanton said: They were especially shite. Had they seriously never heard London Calling before releasing this abomination? I really liked 2/3 songs off their debut album, saw them at tinthepark and the singer was in a scumdrie top, hated them ever since. 49 minutes ago, Gaz said: I will, however, die on this hill: Maximo Park were / are fucking brilliant. They are a superb band. Velocity is a tune. Someone mentioned the New Radicals earlier, they were actually all just session musicians. They became the house band on the vh1 program ‘Rockstar’, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Electro Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 In the week that the BBC publishes it's list of top earners, for myself, Kenickie. Lauren Laverne is listed at number seven on the list. Peel and Lamaq loved them. Possibly had two or three top twenty hits. Record label totally threw them under the bus. There's an ITV documentary on YouTube that depicts their last tour, and their demise. Worth watching, in my view. Less than 7,000 monthly Spotify listeners today. Mental for such a talented band, in my view..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I might be outing my lack of knowledge about the current music scene but, in terms of mainstream, Glasvegas seemed to be everywhere then disappeared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them at the Showbox in Seattle supporting The Seahorses, Really good lads who we met outside and they put us on guest list. They were good live too even though I only knew Wide Open Space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Tones & I. That Dance Monkey song was everywhere in 2019. However thankfully I don't think they've done anything of note since. I assumed the COVID pandemic was divine punishment on humanity as a collective for allowing such a fucking awful song to become so big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I have to admit to liking quite a few of the bands mentioned. Not massive fan of any really. Barring Kasabian. They were great, New stuff is pretty shit. The Enemy first album was brilliant. I went through the period where for about 5 years TITP was Kasabian, The Killers, Stereophonics, Razorlight, The Kooks etc on rotation. I was oot my nut and enjoyed it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
