Just like when the NME focused on the image of 'The Sound' rather than their amazing music, some of the comments validate my distrust of a large portion of people. Eagulls are one of the very few 'current' bands I really like.
all i fucking see is "rip off, rip off, rip off" - shut up. Everything has been done nowadays. This is a breath of fresh in the music world to be honest, so pack it in.
I love it. So many frontman of British bands wear those big coats, Ian McCulloch and Ian Curtis (2 Ians), Robert Smith did it too. Its an iconic rock look without any of the typical rock clobber!
I saw Eagulls in San Diego at the Soda Bar and they fucking ruled. I don't understand all the bitchy haters and lame comparisons to old bands - Eagulls are easily the best band i've heard in a decade, Way better than The Horrors and poseurs like them.
great track - these guys are ripping off - Joy D, the Wedding Present and the Cure and doing it very nicely - as for looks, and fashion ,who gives a shit, and its obviously POST punk - great track
HIs stage persona is a 100% complete rip off of Brett Anderson's. The guitarist on the right is a rip off of The Horrors' one ripping off Bernard Butler circa 1994. The other members look like they have accidentally walked onto the set having arrived in the building to remap some faulty network drives. To think the NME once championed original and challenging talent.
alfie brown No, I am having a go because they are painfully unoriginal. Compare John Lydon's rendition of Johnny B. Goode with the 20 year earlier original by Chuck Berry. Then compare these lot with the 20 year earlier Suede. The so called "alternative" nowadays is essentially media studies graduates who haven't an original idea in their heads. As I have said before on this platform, there is no longer a financial incentive for poor kids to get into music so we are left with middle class pretend poor kids playing at it. Tiresome.
***** how do you know they are middle class pretend poor kids? I spoke to them after the show and they are very down to earth and unpretentious, wake up and stop wanking over your suede albums.
