Dashing.

But at least it doesn't sound like Interpol.
Every other band and their granny sounds like Interpol at the moment.
If YOI is what it takes for these fucking indie kids with Ian Curtis fixations to go away, then god bless these pikey chancers.

It's very very similar sounding to Stay Young by Oasis...This is one of Tony Wilson's new bands

I thought "Acid Man" was a great tune.

what a load of shit this band are.

"they sound like theyd be good live"...you don't have to offer olive branches to Institute fans. saw um in stoke recently and was APPALLED! oasis...with a rapper...
I need this band like i need an AIDS infected water-source

from that picture

Northern Uproar anyone?

this band are shit. it makes me sick to think that people may think this is the best that manchester have to offer, same old oasis inspired toss. there are some quality bands coming out of manchester at the moment without the braindead influences these *chavs seem to have. what a a load of shit this band are.

I don't think its been said anywhere that they are the best in Manc, but...

The fact is I feel that Manchesters band scene is pretty under represented on DIS generally, but then again
its hardly as lively as Leeds or Nottingham right now so maybe thats why.

The Oasis/Mondays/Roses baggy loudmouth fuckhead thing gets imposed on Manc by everywhere else - fucking London especially - people seem to forget the Smiths and the Fall also came from here.

they're just not a good advert for music coming out of manchester.

True, incidentally as a fellow manc resident, whos rocking yer proverbial disco right now?

probably most impressed with fear of music in recent times, they were pretty exciting. wfanfc are also making cool sounds, and even though i personally don't rate the longcut as much as zane lowe seems to, they're a much more relevant band than this bunch will ever be.

Agreed, fear of music release on melodic compilation out soon - www.melodic.co.uk

kindly check this my band out if you get a chance

I promise you we sound NOTHING like Oasis :)

I will do. When and where's your next show. That name rings a bell, i think i've read a review of your's somewhere.

for a moment i though that the band 'young offenders' had a new release. man alive was that a bad band.

I've seen this band live 3 times and they are absolutely the bollox. Times are changin guys - the indie scene ain't going to be the domain of your middle class shoe gazing university educated don't-smile-on-stage boys for much longer. The Young Offenders are buzzing, energised, fuck-it-all party people just celebrating being in a band and being young.

Oasis + Madness + Sex Pistols = Young Offenders Institute. Awsome, shambolic, hilarious, dangerous and destined to be huge. Go Collyhurst - JP for President.

And perhaps the reason they sound a bit like Oasis is because they're produced by Owen Morris. Apparently, he saw them at their first ever gig at Cellar Vie during ITC and offered them a week in his studio straight away. The Young Offenders are going to be a big part of Manc music history whether you like it or not. And no, I'm not related to any of them (thank god) and I'm not sleeping with any them either.

"the reason they sound a bit like Oasis"...
replace "reason" with "excuse" and "a bit" with "exactly" seriously though, each to his own, I saw this band and sat there like a dog who'd been shown a card-trick. I just don't get it, though my mate went wild. I think they'll have some success, particulalry with indie fans circa oasis, etc. can't see um being huge just because they'll divide opinion too much. For example, my massive oasis fan mate hates them for rippin um off...million dead were on the same bill incidentally
"middle class shoe gazing university educated don't-smile-on-stage boys" they are not!

the best band coming out of collyhurst are without a doubt THE PEDESTRIANS... good mates with the young offenders so im told... spotted the singer from peds and bassist from young offenders causing chaos at leeds festival
