The best band around at the moment.

Theyre pretty good, supposed to be excellent live. Cant really take them seriosly though, they seem like a bit of a novelty 80s rock band.

Wouldn't say best, but definitely one of the best.

I think part of the appeal for me is that they don't take themselves too seriously, they obviously care about the music, but they're obviously having a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

And I have a soft spot for them because they're from the East Anglian region! OO-ar, tractor etc. etc.

Rock-on.

I've heard quite a few tracks from the album and they all sound good to me, could be my inbred-farmer ears though

Mik · 21-10-2003, 05:09

You've turned into a snob since starting to listen to those belgian bootleggers!

I like Coldplay, there you go I've said it. Met them at the bar at one of their gigs (which cost £3 a ticket! - before "Yellow" came out) and they were good blokes.

Saw Travis supporting a band in Norwich years ago and liked them, they had a bit of rock about them. There new song sound like whinging toss to me though

You didnt miss much - the live performance I saw was pretty tedious. Rather like their album.
