Great underrated Britpop band.

Bollocks to 'underrated Britpop band' - Dubstar were just plain wonderful. Your remarks are well-meaning, I'm sure (and I'm eternally grateful to you for posting this gem), but Steve, Chris and Sarah didn't need the truly dull bandwagon that was 'Britpop' to 'big up' their talents. Such quality rang out like perfectly tuned church bells on the best/worst day of your life. In short, I was rather fond of them.

you should hear STARS from their debut album DISGRACEFUL

The 90s was, in general, absolute rubbish for music, certainly as they progressed, but among all the Shreyl Crow guitar chick wannabee crap/Spice Girl bimbo and Boyzone bimbo quads and fifths and Oasis shit, to say nothing of all the other c/rap and so-called r'n'b bollox out there, and that's before you even Simon Cowell's school of Shitney Spears etc. death to it all, Dubstar stood out as wicked, dreamy, insightful, intelligent and melodious, all without even trying to be cool, they just were.

I never knew the guys were from Newcastle! I'm living there now so that news got me all excited. I thought they were from Leeds or something because of Sarah's Yorkshire accent! One of the best bands ever and nobody really knew of them :( Gutting!

Funny how certain things look dated about this -- like the much missed Routemaster buses -- that you could jump on and off (demonstrated at the start of the video!) and not be imprisoned in in stationary traffic, like the new buses/mobile prisons!

Big Golf Sale signs people hold up in Oxford street -- they're gone now (I think).

And old British Rail ticket machines in Liverpool Street station and the old BR signage. Also gone! Otherwise it could have been filmed yesterday...

She is so damn sexy.

I love Dubstar. I remember listening to all their songs back in the 90's, and buying the single no more talk which I played to death at full volume!! Saw them at Glastonbury in 97. it was brilliant! One of my friends filmed the whole thing, but somebody stole the camera! I'd love to see that footage again, but I guess it's long gone. Bloody thieves!
