Vernon Kaye moulded his style on Paul Needles, I'm sure!

The Needles will never make a difference to anyones life ever. They are shallow retro nonsense. The only Aberdeen band i walked out on early. And does the singer work in the aberdeen uni law library? I'm sure i saw him.

The Needles were one of the first local bands myself and my brother ever heard. At the time they helped confirm what I suspected, local music could be as good and refined as the touring acts you pay too much to see.

Anyway I know we're not the only people who have had our faith in local bands affirmed by The Needles over the years so you're completely and utterly wrong. I have various friends who know no local bands at all but they know The Needles.
