Self Confirmed

Love that Catfish and the Bottlemen record

[Riggins]

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.

That's the best new band in Britain that you're talking about:

Thats not fat white family?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fuxsake. I'm taking about Catfish and the Bottlemen:

[Riggins]

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.

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

No man exempts themselves from the Power Of The Catfish:

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.

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.

ready to be shot down, but I really liked the first razorlight album, and few real pearlers on it, and I saw them at ally pally and they were tremendous. The second album was shite though and I haven't heard the third one

[sloseph]

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

Best new band isn't a band, it's Misty Miller.

Wolf Alice are great though, fantastic live.

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

Him sarcastically bigging up Catfish surely supports that?

[MrZigster]

Vintage Trouble came through work tonight. Confirmed to me West Holts appearance (never heard of them myself).

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.

[Gnomicide]

(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
