A Lancashire band that kept making records their own way for nearly three decades.
Start with 'Average Joe' to hear their early sound, then maybe 'Blah blah blah' for a later track. It's all pretty straightforward indie rock.
Their breakout track 'Average Joe' from 2001's 'Everyday Hurts' gave them a foothold, but they never chased trends. They just kept putting out albums like 'Where Did It All Go Right?' in 2010 and 'The Meaning of Life' in 2019. Even a Christmas album in 2007 showed their uncomplicated approach.
Formed in Burnley in 1992, they released their debut 'Everyday Hurts' nearly a decade later. The lineup with Rob Skipper on vocals held steady through later albums like 'Still Standing' in 2014. Critics called the music simple, but they kept working.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
