Whiteout - Detroit

A Scottish band that was tipped for the top around the time Oasis first started releasing singles. In fact, Oasis supported Whiteout in 1994, just after the release of Supersonic. Whiteout's 70's glamrock sound didn't find favour with the britpop crowd and, despite releasing a multitide of catchy singles, they were another destined for the indie pop scrap heap.

Sheez, I remember coming back to halls in London in 1993 and seeing these guys at 3am on the TV. Thought I was tripping big time with the 70s gear. Probably was! Saw them ' headline ' in London and Southampton with some band called Oasis as support - at least I think it was that way around!!!

Oasis and Whiteout took it in turns to headline on that tour. I saw one of the dates on that tour, in early April 1994, at the Middlesborough Arena. Was cracking stuff.

Probably one of the best retro-brit-pop-whatever singles of its or any other time...IF it hadn't been them (boy did the music press n industry fuckin hate em) it'd probably be remebered by a shed load more than will find it on here....does anyone remeber that pile of shite menswear? They were the kind of camden bollox the press adored at the time....fk me!!!!

Too right, couldn't agree more.
