Am I really the only one here who likes this? If you like Oasis and the La's I can't see why you should pass it up...there's no pretense, no putting on airs with these guys.
I have never heard them mentioned on this board at all and I can't find a thread for them, either.
Some teenagers from Dundee, Scotland. Bobby Gillespie digs 'em (though I can't stand him) and the producer of the Definitely Maybe digs 'em too.
I think they're more than a bit of fun.
Make up your own mind.

Why you wanna fuck with my head by putting Oasis and The La's in the same sentence (like it's a good thing), Bimble?
I listened to it once and it kind of went in one ear and out the other.

Oh well, your loss.

I quite like "Superstar Tradesman" and "Same Jeans." Kinda sounds like The Libertines/Babyshambles minus the heroin.

I like "Wasted Little DJs" a lot (with the pig-latin chorus). It sounds so much like Guided by Voices to me. But I didn't care for the other songs I heard.

hey the new one "which bitch" is actually not that bad, and i hate this kind of stuff usually.

It's really good. Surprisingly great songs, one after another. But there's not much point in talking about it here...

Having heard some of the first album, my skepticismometer is hovering somewhere around the 150F mark

new lp gets *** in the guardian today

Caroline Sullivan tends to give everything ***, or The Guardian tends to give all the *** albums to Caroline Sullivan. I've never been sure which.

Which is not a criticism. Most albums probably are *** at heart.

For post-Britpop landfill dreck, I didn't hate these guys.

The View - for when you need a band whose ILM thread is even shorter than the one for Editors.
