The board is definitely well rock and roll today
These pansies were just a sacrifice to satan.
they made one good song
that i'm aware of, that's one more than a lot of other bands.
Maaaate, that's fackin' butters mate.
Finally.
u beat me to this
I WAS EATING
you cheater
The word is infinitesimally now a better place
infinitesimally!!!
oh no
wait here, im going to get the noose.
Not a terrible band
Not a particularly good one. Cheshire Cat Smile's probably my fave song.
They actually recorded some tracks just down the road from mine (05/06 sometime) and were apparently nice lads.
Best band named after a Labour minister ever
Saw them live once
Dissapointing and easy to forget.
You've clearly never heard Tears For Blears
or the Charles Clarke Five, then...
Coming up for Blair
Peep Show style.
what about
the robin kooks?
Or David Blunkett Hugs Back
Kinnock St Preachers?
*best band named after my maths teacher ever
Weren't these guys supposed to be the Arctic Monkeys?
Or the arctic monkeys the new milburn?
Eitherway, never heard anything by them so...shit gives a who.
i dont think they ever claimed to be anything revolutionary
but they wrote good catchy songs and were well good live
they just got completely shit on by nme for some reason, i reckon the singer shagged the editors wife or something
maybe
because they were bollocks?
or maybe
they were infact the dogs bollocks!!
*Shrugs*
Maybe they would have survived and prospered if they didn't so ridiculously similar to the Arctics.
i just thought...
...maybe Milburn were around BEFORE the Arctic Monkeys, and the Monkeys totally stole Milburn's formula....
Either way, they suck ass and won't be missed of remembered.
are you being sarcastic?
because they were!! milburns drummer taught the arctic monkeys drummer how to play, the monkeys got together after seeing their mates milburn play. thats why i get pissed off with lazy journalists like nme brushing them off as monkeys copiers.
if its just not your thing then fair enough
They didn't have any edge at all though.
The Arctics did. That's why they beat them senselessly.
they did live
i have seen both live and they effortlessly blew the monkeys out the water, every time
^this
re: Robert-lister:
I wasnt being sarcastic. it just occured to me that maybe everyone saying they copied the Arctics is, as you said, lazy journalism.
I suppose Milburn were unlucky in a way. I wasnt a fan by any stretch, but they aren't as offensive as the likes of Scouting for Girls/The Hoosiers IMO.
very unlucky!
but im glad its been cleared up they were better than scouting for girls and the hoosiers, they are both the low of the low!
The problem any band faces
is that if a band similar to them gets big before they do then, although it'll boos their success in the short-term, they'll always be dismissed as a rip-off unless they've got something pretty special about them to make their mark away from that first band.
Ultimately Milburn seemed never to manage this...
yeah your right
seems harsh though cos their 2nd album was a very big move away from their earlier stuff and as a result the arctic monkeys sound but nme still dismissed it as a monkeys copy, i seriously doubt they actually listened to it!
is the singer going
to Cambridge/Oxford now? I remember reading that he'd been offered a deferred place or something. Or is he continuing musically?
i'd have preferred it...
...if the Arctic Monkeys had split.
Ha! Ha!...
Ha!...an ex of mine loved this lot. They were absolutely terrible. Bye now Milburn. Byeeeee.
damn.
no sleep for me tonight. or ever again. i dont think i can go on, in fact. goodbye cruel world.
