Just because Catfish and his band of bellends have grafted for a bit doesn't mean their indie landfill nonsense entitles them to play anywhere.

Probs means they will play somewhere though, remember that bugg fella...

edit: read that out of context, get ur point

Fat White Family can get in the bin too, frauds. Best new band in the country (for me) is Wolf Alice. If anyone wants to enlighten me otherwise I'm all ears.

actually scratch my earlier decision, not that new but savages by a mile.

Ughhhh why are they frauds now?

I think Wolf Alice are fine. Nothing particularly interesting going on to make me think "so excited for the new Wolf Alice" or similar and while I can happily listen to their stuff and see them and what-not; if they really were the best new band in the country then that'd be a pretty distressing.

edit: also why are we discussing this here? I bet people are popping in to see about self confirmations. :P

I'm gonna exempt them from the competition I have now created, been around ages now.

If we're taking specifics I saw wolf alice in summer 2013 and according to someone on here catfish have been touring for years.

For me, new band means (usually) 1 album in, or obviously no albums and just EPs/singles etc.

They come across as a massive gimmick. They were a shambles every time I've seen them and on Letterman this week.

Not that we have much else to talk about! Though two/three bands are self confirmed so :)

Aye, Wolf Alice have grafted just as much but no album out, they just don't bang on about it as much as Van (is this even his real name?) McCann.

I saw a bit of that, agreed it wasn't up to much. They covered 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' I think??

They covered that when I saw them at y not a couple of years ago, they played mid afternoon just as the sun was coming out, it was the perfect time slot for them

Edit: balls I didn't notice I was on an old page when looking at that post ignore me

Is Gonzo being silly? I thought he was one of efests' foremost arbiters of great taste, this is a vexing development.

Surely the joke is that Catfish are so generic, Gonzo is substituting in pictures of any old indie landfill band instead? The fact that no one seemed to notice at first just proves Gonzo's point

I like this thread being on topic so you've all inspired me to search for some confirmations.

Nice - there are a few SC's hidden over the last few days as well.

(In response to Winslow's post)

Well yes, but you could do the same with many genres and have the same effect.

I wouldn't know Wolf Alice if they walked into me. I wouldn't recognise Kanye, Hot Chip, Courtney Barnet or many of the other tbc acts. It doesn't prove anything.

Or indeed any of the acts Dentalplan just posted.

Nice work.

Didn't the charlatans say they didn't have anything confirmed either yesterday or Saturday? Bloody liars ;)

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
