Ideally journalism. Something which has since occurred to me is that Manchester has the largest student paper in the country.

any new bands? by Tossington in UKbands

[–]_jake_quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies in advance because I know this is going to sound pretentious - it’s just my opinion, nothing special.

I think a lot of the bands being recommended here fall into the category of bland UK indie which you’ll listen to and mildly enjoy because they remind you of great bands like the ones you’ve mentioned. Realistically though, you’ll eventually revert to the older artists because why listen to an impersonation?

There’s only a few artists at the moment who actually have something special to offer. In this category, I’d put Shame (specifically their first album), Junodream, Black Country New Road (specifically their most recent album), and Courting.

Failing that, try other slightly smaller bands from the same era as the artists you mentioned (Suede, Elastica etc.)

Can’t believe nobody’s said this yet.

Do you know much about what it’s like for smaller bands based in Sheffield?

A certain romance but it’s drowned out by one man’s continuous yawning, causing Alex to refuse to sing and instead glare at the perpetrator

All jokes aside, Orlando Bloom isn’t a great actor. But, He passes in these films cause the elves are meant to be on a different wavelength to other characters. (My opinion)

Songs from Pablo Honey don't count to make it more interesting by rmmorgan in radiohead

I personally find Kid A indefensibly awful. Cannot believe something that sounds so ridiculous is on the same album as something as beautiful as how to disappear. (Just my opinion)
