ben_1903 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 It was on the cards after their second album totally flopped.It didn't flop. It's a brilliant album, it went down the swanny because Virgin got rid of the 'hutt' section of their label and then thought it would be a good idea to treat all the bands on hutt like dirt.They never really recovered, even though they recently started recording the third album.ho hom. This year then:Crackout, Whitmore, Hiwards Alias, Span, Million Dead...er......loads more. Can't member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Amy* Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 will the world really miss any of those?didn't think so.Dunno about Million Dead and Whitmore but Howards Alias splitting up is a massive blow to the UK underground scene. For over 5 years they constantly toured the UK, put out 3 fantastic albums and were still criminally underrated. Their last offering, 'Beat Heart, Beat' is an absolute gem of an album, showing progress at its finest. A million miles away from their debut, The Chameleon Script, it's dark, heavy, filled with beautiful lyrics and trombone and keys in all the right places. Once a ska band, always a ska band though, it seems. And the ska scene is hardly buzzing these days. But I'm sure anyone who caught them live or purchased The Answer Is Never and/or Beat Heart, Beat can agree with me here. Have a look about for Difflam, Love Loss Learn or The Drive and tell me people won't miss them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest five years Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 you're not the world' date=' mind.[/quote']that is very true.aren't you clever? i was merely pointing out that i believe many people - yourself possibly included - won't really miss the passing of those bands. "the world" was a broad generalisation, showing my believed insignificance of those bands on the consciousness of this planet's population at large.
