I always thought these guys were victims of the grunge music that the labels fell in love with. They bypassed so much amazing pop music just to worship at the altar of distortion.
I recorded some of their demos at Lowfold studios around 1991 - they were great lads - still see nian the drummer in sainsburys every now and again ! They were better than a lot of the bands that made it bigger than they did - think I might look for their master tapes !!!
These were the first band I ever saw. They were supporting The La's on the 14th of March 1991 at Leeds University. They were loads better than the The La's that night. That line 'Here I stand, ponytail and flares' makes me cringe everytime I hear it. Otherwise, this is a great song.
They were mediocre, if anything. Plastic Spearmen and all, up there own. Dreary period, they were nothing like the Stone Roses, they fell off their own bandwagon when the appeared on Blue Peter - radical. Spunky, Burnley
It sounds very similar to a song by a band who made it big at about the same time. I guess thats what the Indie sound was all about then, the whole Madchester thing ? This is a really good song though, I haven't heard it before.
Cracked it, the song I was thinking about was "There She Goes" by The La's. Not sure which came first as I know the La's hit was long after they first did the song...
Takes me back to the early 90's when I saw them play in big venues like Colne Municipal Hall.....great times though and i'll second fshcakes's clarets big up - longside till i die.
Bloody hell!!!! There really is everything on youtube! Was'nt expecting to find this! Nice one for putting this on here! Definately preston front fans unite! Thank you, you've made my night!
This song was used as the theme to BBC drama 'All quiet on the Preston front'. Check out Liverpool group 'The La's' for similar glorious jangly guitars.
My god, this takes me back. In a good way, I hasten to add...
