Cloud Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 There's been plenty of them as far back as I remeber, but what was everyone's favourite overhyped band locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Not since Stripey's heyday have I seen such a blatant attempt to cause a big fight.(Cue response from Cloud "It's not, it's a serious question. Over the years we've had lots of bands who have been overhyped when they first came on the "scene" only to invariably fade into obscurity. This practice is obviously to the detriment of Aberdeen's music community as a whole, creating a "cry wolf" effect if you will. Here in Poland I can get a buff, out of work electrician to suck me off for a Euro, and he'll even swallow etc etc etc.") 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 The moderators should replace the 'u' and 'd' from Cloud's username with 'w' and 'n' respectively.Just for shits and giggles, like.I'm just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think you should offer some examples first, Cloud.Fair enough.Liber8, Alyssa's Wish and Edgar Prais. All three dreadfully hyped up, busy gigs and plenty of talk of how they were amazing and were on the edge of being signed and dominating the world. Seemed to be the same pattern every time, people would rant and rave about them being the best thing ever to come out of Aberdeen, yada, yada, yada - and yet nothing came of it every single time. In fact, this thread was inspired by someone asking me the other day about them. Colonopenbracket also come to mind - busy gigs, a fairly innovative genre (I remeber talking to Mart about it well before anyone had mentioned 8-bit anywhere), clearly some sort of interest, yet they completely blew it.Amy Sawyers as well comes to mind, everyone was talking about her, whatever happened to her?

The Milner Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Liberwishprais were not overhyped, maybe just undermotivated to really get somewhere with it, but you couldnt question the talent or the ability to write very good songs.

The Milner Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 maybe its just me, but i think the Liber8 Ep is the best thing ever released by a local band at that level, infact i dont even think there is another ep by a local band close to being as good as that.

She is still pittering away, doing her thing, and doing it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
