Snow Patrol. No wait...

 

[Lili Marlene]

Tha Marbles

Something in my Eye was a class song.
I remember the b-side being the worst thing ever though, called 'the fear' or something awful like that

 

[george mcfly]

Morello?

 

[Deleted member 3435]

Were Lir ever signed or what was the buzz there?

 

[muffin]

the revs...
it all went wrong after turning japanese...

 

[Lili Marlene]

Watercress became the very wonderul Drat.

What happened to Drat? They sound like they're in the past tense.

Oh, that band Blink.
They were Irish yeah? Even had a callcard dedicated to them

 

[Charlie Bucket]

My little funhouse

at least they got to have a food fight in the geffen canteen with guns'n'roses!!

 

[Alan Remorse]

Marshall Stars

Royseven... well not yet, but we all know it's going to happen


One of the funniest things of working in HP was the January "Bands for 2007" feature... ah God, like lining up suckers against a wall so it was...

We were on that. Wait a minute...

 

[MDR]

Snow Patrol. No wait...

Does anyone else think that snow patrol are complete lou barlow rip-offs?

 

[Lili Marlene]

Snow Patrol are the sort of band your girlfriend likes.

In my case it's true.




starts 'casual sexism' thread

Brando-the guy looked like the missing link between the female chimp in PG Tips ads and Supergrass

a winning combination..

...or so they thought

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Why? There's no obligation on a label to bother putting an album out. The band mightn't develop musically like they hoped it would etc. No point throwing good money after bad.

Has the Humanzi album even been released in England?

surely you mean "the band mightn't develop comercially like they hoped it would"...

 

[avernus]

poor Blink. they still release albums. they still suck too. poor Blink.


I remember the shapes on that dude from The Blew. woah.

I saw Melaton play once. Thought they were pretty good. your man was well young too. talented fella. good for him.


This dude I know played in this band and they were all like 'uhh label interest... album... tour...' anyway, they put on this gig with label reps there and shit and they played their own brand of U2 meets The Seahorses or some shit. No Label interest. No album. No Tour. They promptly broke up. Bye Cricket Boy!

There are bigger Lou Barlow rip-offs about.

 

[MDR]

The Seahorses, jaysus remember how bad they were.

Quit your Melaton-bashing!

he thought a lot of himself. or very little. whatever it was, it seemed like he thought he was a ride.

If memory serves me right, the scientician was kicked out of whelans for heckling that guy.

"WHAT DOES IT SAY ON YOUR T-SHIRT?" times 100000.

Or am I mixing up two different nights?

 

[Charlie Bucket]

would you believe his name was elton?? wore a kurt cobain/dennis the menace style black'n'red jumper for the entirity (spell?) of his time in college down here....
then he went to ballyfermot rok skool apprently....

and as someone mentioned watercress i saw that willfully "eccentric" nordie lad Duke Special on the LLS lastnight and WTF is the story with him? sounds like keane unplugged with the singer from placebo "emoting" over it

 

[avernus]

The Seahorses, jaysus remember how bad they were.

Yeah, for some reason it came as a surprise that John Squire couldn't turn some random knacker on the street into a great songwriter. Bye John Squire.
