The Hives are a good band.

The levellers, Fuck you they're legendary.

I know what you mean, modern music eh.

Spasticity or irony? I hope the latter but presume the former.

Spastic

Thats what i thought. The Levellers hardly can be classed as new. 1988.

The Shins are great! Sometime around 2003 or 2004, indie stopped actually meaning indie and started meaning british-curly-haired-tight-jeans-wearing-interchangable-wankers-who-write-interchangable-songs.

The Kooks, The Pigeon Detectives, The Feeling, The Fratellis, The View, Kaiser Chiefs, they're all really the same shit band in disguise.

Utd heap · 3rd July 2008, 21:33

The Kooks are shite.

Aint read any of this thread. Apologies for my arrogance.

Lizard King · 3rd July 2008, 21:36

I'd love to twat the guitarist of Scouting For Girls with his guitar whilst I'm setting fire to the lead singer of the Hoosiers.

Wouldn't even piss on him to put it out if you did, would throw some petrol on though.

That whole new bunch of 'Indie' bands need twatting.

Bring back the Libertines.

Lizard King · 3rd July 2008, 21:55

Libertines are fucking great, as are Dirty Pretty Things.

Every indie band that has come about in the last 18 months can fuck off though, except the Klaxons who are decent.

I was with you until the last bit!

What do you reckon to DPT's new single Lizard?

Last album was good, hope this one's similiar.

DanNistelrooy · 3rd July 2008, 22:03

I thought the Libertines were great though i'm not convinced by the DPT, i've been to see them live and they were a bit disappointing.
If you are after a good band though, i strongly recommend The Rifles, they are cracking yet don't seem to get much media attention

Lizard King · 3rd July 2008, 22:07

Love it, I'm going to see them for the 4th time soon

Met Carl a few times, sorry, Carl met me a few times

Fuck off. The Hoosiers lead singer is a loyal royal.

RedNome · 4th July 2008, 00:07

The Kooks along with Keane and pretty much all the other 'Indie' crap that has come out in the last few years are so fecking boring that I can't even be bothered carrying on with this pos........

Lizard King · 4th July 2008, 13:15

The mod who moved this thread will regret that decision

I dunno if they fit the time frame, but I`d give Editors a pass as well.

I'd give them credit if only for the fact they haven't got a 'The' infront of their name.
