I would not count myself as a fan, but I somehow like them. I saw them live 2 years (?) ago and they were so much fun that I happily bought a ticket for later on this year to see them again. I had planned not to buy the current album, as it does get a bit samey, but now I guess I'll have to buy it. I've read in some reviews that Williamson actually tries to sing a bit on this one and I think that might be good. Did you buy it?

They are a bit "emperor's new clothes", imo, the edgy "band" that is cool to like these days, and shamelessly plugged by several news outlets. But on the other hand, they found a niche and fair play to them. I cannot begrudge it them and wish them the best and am looking forward to Williamson-aka-the-crazy-chicken.

Of course, to be fair, I'm not their target audience, lyrics wise, not being from the UK.

I really respect them and I get why folk really dig them, though I'm not a fan of their music personally. Here's a great interview from The Guardian.

They do seem to articulate working class rage in their music, and given the pair's background, I genuinely think they are an authentic representation of the disillusioned, disparaged and neglected people in British society today. I suppose that makes them especially relevant, and given the way that the whole country is going down the toilet, I think they will only become more relevant. It's quite an achievement for 40 something year olds only recently starting out in the music industry - it says much about their own natural talent as it does about the state of guitar bands who can't even fill that void. I mean, let's be honest, if a band is to articulate an honest and brutal assessment of British life today, it ain't gonna be Catfish & The Bottlemen.

Shoutbox

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

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

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

AllOrNothing: Halloween theme I reckon bonehead's barber Oct 13, 2024 14:08:59 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

ginwaiting: Hey I was lucky to get tickets for Heaton Park on the 19th July, my mate also got tickets so we have all decided to go on another night so I would like to sell my tickets for the 19th. Please drop me a message if you interested. Thanks Nov 6, 2024 7:17:10 GMT -5
