ANOTHER fantastic band from the UK! Like the Jam, or even Oasis... they would never be big in Amerika...far "too British" for the "mainstream" crap that Amerika chokes on. Sure, there will be fans in pockets around (especially in the bigger cities- LA, Chicago, NY, and so on) but their "sound" and even their "look" is not "ready-made" enough for Amerika. Great bands come from everywhere... but it seems SO many come from the UK... I guess we owe you a pint or two?
JK did you see them when they played here in Sept? I was sad to miss -- but here it was the night of my 13th wedding anni and just politically unfeasible. I am in the U.K. at least once a year and the pop scene there is indeed superior to our pop scene. But the mod scene is kinda lame and not like the U.S. These guys are more likely to be followed by casuals than mods, who think themselves as purists and look down their nose at 'revivalists'. So where are you a mod in the U.S.?
Only crap is being played in the U..S. right now!!! Its bullshit!! Shit for 12 yr olds who hate their mom!! or Crappy ...top 40 shit!!! The Killers was the only GREAT band from the U.S. this decade!!
