This is maybe one for Bob as I know he's a young impressionable scamp looking for decent bands.

Look no further my friend. This band have been with me since I was 17 and unfortunately split last year but they are absolutely incredible.

Anyone else a fan?

Love that tune and a good band.

Their artwork was always smart too.

i raved about this band when they came out, very under-rated imo

been solid and i d say great live although i never got the chance to see `em!

amazing band, i've made one or two threads about them on here.

Underrated, such a great band and i don't know why it never really worked out proper for them.

 

[BlueHammer85]

One of the greatest and most underated albums of all time - i never heard of them after this

Brilliant - seriously brilliant - first album, but not much after that.

Seen them twice live - first time was when they supported The Charlatans and the singer - was on fire and could certainly "bust a move" around the stage!!

Second time was during the tour for their third album and The crowd were pretty subdued...apart from when they played tracks from their first album!!

Well like I said I was 16 or 17 when they first came out annd 7 of us went to the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool to see them when Kings of Leon supported them.

Stand out songs from the gig are

Their B Sides are better than most bands albums which is frightening. They sort of lost their way on the Welcome to the North album but looking back it's still incredible.

I remember when they broke through and were being touted as the best new band in Britain. They were Kids and had done about half a dozen gigs in Leeds! On the back of this, I saw them at The Roadhouse (sold out) and was pretty impressed. It was dance music made with a live band. Strength In Numbers is the only one of their albums I really, really liked but I was sad to see them finish and went to one of their farewell shows at Brixton Academy to see the whole thing through. Good band.
