Kev, yes 
I really Like the fact that they're doing their own thing.
As for not commercial, Northern Line could do it with a little (And I mean little) tweaking to make it so. The rest of it isn't too avant guarde or unusable either.
My opinion on commercial is there are two types - capital C being a style of music and lower-case being stuff that just sells.
It could be that music isn't the way teenagers identify/express themselves anymore and the market is for slick polished performance with nothing too demanding.
I liked your choice and Martin's - of the two your one certainly got more of my attention. perhaps they're two different markets and I'm an old git living in the past  |

Zoo, I've mentioned him before but I'll rave again:

Jamie T, raw, energy, passion. Originality? I think so. Most people know Sheila which is great but it sticks him in the UK rap pidgeon hole which he's not, more acoustic if you ask me.
Calm Down Dearest on ROTD recently, a lot of comments about it not being commercial enough. I hope he doesn't get anymore commercial, he could end up just like the bands you speak of.
Album out in Jan, hoo-bloody-ray! (I've been waiting long enough for f**ks sake!). |

All points taken respectfully Zoo.
Where they impressed me was utter tightness and stance, there was no individualism, just a polished young unit.
I will stress that this is not one of our acts, we still see about ten new ones a month,(well new to us anyway)in a four or five week period, and this is the best of the batch in this time scale we have caught.
I think the forum sums up pretty much what we felt, and that is, this is one to watch, at this stage, but not grab by the horns. |
