@notnowliberty There'll always be someone doing it better or harder or more punk than you. The thing with these guys is, in the beginning they were fiercely DIY. What ended up happening was that they did their thing so well that other people believed in them too. First it was people putting out comps, then One Little Indian wanted to put out their records. They put on bigger and bigger shows, and then EMI wanted to sign them too. You can't fault a band for being successful on their own terms.

@NeverTheSame Yeah, WYSIWYG wasn't their most commercial offering, but if we're gonna be brutally honest, they were never DIY the way some people were

@xsandinistax I suppose signing to EMI may not have been their best decision, but it was a decision they all made together. I think the most important thing is that their music did not change to reflect their new record deal. They wrote and recorded Tubthumper while still on OLI. The only album they wrote while on EMI was WYSIWYG, and that album was far less commercial than Tubthumper.
NO BODY IS COMPLEATLY WORTHLESS! THEY CAN ALWAYS SERVE AS A BAD EXAMPLE! HA HA HA I LOVE CHUMBA
