Shed Seven are an English indie rock band from York and were one of the groups that contributed to the Britpop music scene that evolved during the 1990s, yet never received the degree of mainstream success achieved by bands such as Oasis and Blur. They formed in 1990 and originally comprised Rick Witter (vocals), Joe Johnson (guitar and keyboards, later replaced by Paul Banks), Tom Gladwin (bass) and Alan Leach (drums). They belonged to the post-Smiths wave of UK musicians such as the Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios in a minor or tonic key and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had a number of top 40 singles and four top 20 albums in the UK. The band officially broke up in 2003, but announced their reformation for a greatest hits tour in mid 2007.

Witter you legend

just fucking love them and this ........just special

well it simply said indie band that would mean they got no big company doing PR for them and stuff.(srry I dont have any of the band backgorund just appreciating it). So it's not so obvious why they are not known take Elbow for an example it took 10 years of quality songs to get to be known.

No such thing as heroes!

@Madchestermod hey i'm only a year late to reply to this. But it's because Shed Seven's lyrical value is so much stronger than Oasis and people don't know how to appreciate it
