Band from Manchester,i'm ok with them.

I'm averse to anything described as 'indie' 'upcoming' and 'British' down to horrible knock off Oasis and Arctic Monkeys tribute acts destroying the genre (i.e. The Enemy, Brother, Catfish, etc, etc) from its peak brilliance of the Britpop years. It's fallen away so horribly.

But Blossoms have potential. Their tune Charlemegne is a stormer - sounds like Suede doing ABBA (as Noel would probably say!), a really great tune - I first heard it on BBC 6 Music some weeks ago and it grabbed me instantly in a way that an indie/alt band hadn't done since maybe Club Foot by Kasabian. Judging by this song, they seem to GET it by being able to write a catchy hook and not just look 'cool' to cover up their deficiencies like many try hards do today.

This section of this forum is my second home and this is why I love this place.

I've never heard of them before, but I like what I just heard and they "sound like Suede doing ABBA" indeed!
Wanna check more of them. Thanks guys for recommending.

^I second that! Charlemagne is one hell of a tune and sounds pretty mature for such a young band - not the typical style-over-substance twentysomethings blasting out worn out riffs in black leather jackets.
They're also among a couple of indie bands supporting/touring with The Libertines which isn't a bad thing.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
