The Wombats - A rant about British Music

[CharleyKnight]

Anyone heard them? Probably the worst fuckin band I have ever heard. A proper shower of overatted over played cunts. They typify all that is wrong with British music at the moment. I am serioulsy fuckin dissapointed, nay gutted with the British music scene at the moment. So many decent, good talented bands floating around there but not getting a sniff when talentless cunts like Mika, The Hoosiers and some Pop Idol cum stains reaping every award and plaudit there is going. Something needs to be done.

[kelster]

When you're right, you're right. Just listened to a couple of their tunes on youtube and they are shit. All met a LIPA too, fame school cunts.

[Lurtz]

Bit harsh, I thought. They're not great but there's a lot more shite out there than the Wombats.

Yea they're more average than actually being shit. Now Mika is total shit and deserves to die from some horribly rancid painful condition, like the plague or sphilus or something like that!

[Joe Strummer]

Fucking garbage.

 

Britain needs a new Oasis or Sex Pistols.

Not quite sure how you mention Oasis in the same breath as the mighty Sex Pistols but you're right, we need something.

I went to see The Twang last night and they are pure class. I saw them before they 'made it' and again last night and their attitude has not changed a bit; they are still really greatful that people show up and put out a blinding set.

[Stu Monty]

The music scene in Britain is awesome. Ever thought of looking for it elsewhere if where you are looking all you can see is shit?

[Monkeywool]

I agree with the ginger musical yoda.

They are shit mate regardless of attitude.

You're so wrong. Another band worth a mention are 'The Enemy' great live band and down to earth lads also. I can't stand bands that think they are better than they are.

[bossy]

To cheer you up and restore your faith in british guitar pop, here's my new single 'From Speke To Waterloo'. Or you'll hate it....

From Speke To Waterloo

[Guest TK-421]

There's always good stuff out there if you can be arsed to look for it.

[Rocky Sullivan]

I've met the Wombats a few times and even one of the Wombats Nans who was lovely. They're still shit though and the lead singer is a cunt.

Stu I agree with you whole heartedly. The British music scene is brilliant and has been since, in my opinion, the early sixties, if you know where to look for it. However nowadays the mainstream is absolute fuckin garbage. Even back in the mid nineties so called mainstream music was still boss, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Suede etc. These bands where regulars in the top 10. It seems now that the divide between great bands and mainstream pop music is bigger than ever. It seems that decent to excellent bands are not getting any recognition while X Factor winners, re formed bands and cunts like Mika are seen as the epitomy of British music. It's a fuckin disgrace. Espescially in a day and age when music is so accessible (MySpace, Youtube, Itunes etc) these bands aren't getting the credit they deserve.

[Unrighteous]

The problem is that everyone is trying to impersonate some other band that they heard and calling it 'influence'.

 

Most of them sound all the fucking same... I like all sorts of music but once you get mainstream you can't discern any of the rubbish from the other rubbish because they are too busy trying to fit into a fucking genre.

Yeah, the old "influenced by" chestnut. Oasis fans look away now: I think we can point at those manc cunts and say without a doubt that "they started it." They proved a point that you can make a very successful career out of creating music for the masses without having a single original musical idea of their own. Musicians (well, karaoke singers in the main, let's face it) can point at the success of Oasis and say "I'm gonna try that." Result - talentless, repetitive mediocrity.

 

Nice one Oasis. What a band.....

[Stu Monty]

If you bring

to the table then you've got talent; it's as simple as that.

[Juniper]

I suggest some of you aren't really looking.

 

There's always great new music out there hiding away in the underground, despite what shite's in the charts.

Being in a band I get to see a lot of unsigned shows in the capital and I'll tell you what, there's some cracking bands not getting signed/airplay.

 

At least we have guitar bands in the charts these days, not like it was a few years ago back in the last 90's/early 00's with the boy band/pop explosion.

 

Get yourselves out there and look for it, don't compare 'new music' with whats in the charts and on the radio. That's not a relection of what's new at all.

 

In fact that's the last place you should look.

Oasis fucking rule.

[Lurtz]

Oasis fucking rule.

 

I respect your opinion but in my opinion (which also happens to be the right one) Oasis suck cock and are the most overrated bunch of fucking shitstains that popular culture has produced in this country for years. But then that's the masses for you isn't it.

[Mendoza]

The worst purveyors of shit at the moment for me are Scouting For Girls. Utter, utter cunts.

Oh yes, a bigger bunch of cocks you'd be hard pressed to find.

 

Oasis rule, only pillow biters disagree.

[manwiththestick]

Oasis are at best half decent, i saw them back in '95 at Maine Road and whilst they were okay, the Manics and Ocean Colour scene who came on before them performed better.
