seems they've split as their guitarist has had a stroke and isn't recovering too fast
although hardly a revolutionary band by any stretch of the imagination, it' still an absolute shame - the guitarist is such a young guy

a stroke?fuck.

 

[Lili Marlene]

sad to see them go

A damn shame. Giddy Stratospheres, Once And Never Again and Fulwood Babylon are all great tunes. Their last album wasn't the best though but it's still a shame.

I used to get the Fulwood bus home.

Shame.. another good steel city band.

Their last album wasn't the best though

i thought their second one was great. autonomy boy was by far their best single though.

i saw them in june this year and yer man was struggling. he did nearly everything in the band (lyrics/music), and had a major panic attack every time the others fucked things up (which they did quite a bit). very mediocre live band, sadly.

autonomy boy was by far their best single though.

Why did people think this?? I always though that song was so woefully average

Anyway, they should have taken all those brilliant b-sides off the first album and replaced the shouty indie songs on the second one with them

first album = ace
second album = not bad
singles = haven't heard, but have heard (if that makes sense)
