opinions4u Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Adventures. Had a big hit in 1988 with Broken Land. A couple of decent albums but just fizzled away. Anybody got any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte_Baby Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The Seahorses and Monaco reality is the two main people in each of the band had already hit it big time with other groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Funnily enough I listened to Do It Yourself last week. Some great tracks on there. Some not so good ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 80% of the bands signed to Creation Records back in the day. Their biggest bands weren't even their best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsleftfoot Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) My mate (who was in the Music Industry) used to really like this small band called Coldplay who she saw play in a few pubs and was devastated when they got a little bigger. She did get me tickets to see the Foo Fighters in Worlds End in Camden though, where are they now???

I quite like the 'Pair of Tights' song by Coldplay, not repetitive at all ;) I don't listen to either of them at home but they are good live (though it's questionable how 'live' such bands are nowadays).

Oafc88 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Have absolutely no clue about music but at uni my mates loved a band called Milburn from Sheffield. I quite like their music myself and am surprised they didnt break out as they had some catchy tunes. At 53 degrees in Preston (our uni) my mates saw them with the Arctic Monkeys as a support act! Apparently jacked in a few years back as they didnt feel they was recognised by the music industry. If you get chance check em out on youtube.

Quality band I've been listening to for quite a few years. Shame that they split up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 World Party. Outstanding songwriter and had an amazing eye for a melody. Wrote "She's The One" that Robbie Williams found success with. Thought he'd be huge back in the early 90's. I bet he lives as a hermit now off "She's The One" royalties or something.

longtimeblue Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) I thought Audioweb were going to do well as a teenager. Listened to Fireworks City recently and it's a very decent album.
