I've listened to the album and to their EP from last year, which is basically everything they've ever recorded. They are genuinely good, and probably the most interesting band I've discovered in the last few months. They haven't got any crap song and they manage to get a nearly unique sound: the singer's vocals are very distinctive and guitar work is superb (I definitely hear some Johnny Marr-inspired arpeggios here and there). Cast's review of the album is great too. I'm quite surprised to see that Liam's a fan of this band, to be honest. Maybe he's finally moved on from the stale '60s sound? Anyway, I really have to thank him Debbie for this awesome discovery, it made my week. Fixed it. Oh well... By the way, my thoughts above are still valid ten days and some listens later. Seriously, if anybody of you hasn't checked out this band yet trust me, you really should. Best stuff I've heard in months.

maybe thats what Liam is doing now, works for debbie handing out quotes to bands she associates with.
debbie: heres holy holy, say something
Liam: fucking top man, get on it or fuck off.
debbie: no no, needs to be abit more media friendly
Liam: uh...oh...um....best fucking band Ive heard in years?
debbie: that will do, Ill just censor it
Liam: nice one.

So Liam likes a band he has probably been hearing a lot because his girlfriend is doing work for them. Yeah shocking and as the Doctor said SAD. He should probably shoot himself. I might post a recipe now.

Signed to his girlfriend's PR/management agency - not exactly exciting stuff.

That's a bad news She worked for Quest Management as a personal assistant but was dismissed for "getting too close" to a professional client. The employment law website queried their reasons for dismissing her on those grounds, but came to the conclusion that it was possibly more to do with a poor reflection on the company if (as happened) Liam's marriage broke down as a result or other negative Liam stories involving their staff member made it into the press. Their article on it is HERE

guess you could say its interesting that Liam is listed there as hes not doing anything as far as we know, though I expect its more of a thing that theyve got him listed there as it looks good that they "manage" Liam gallagher and seeing as its debbie hes probably just lending his name to it.

Presume it's the latter, rather like Noel Gallagher in the nineties having Meg Matthews DJ booking agency Flavor arrange parties for Oasis, despite it being set up initially to promote Hip Hop producers. After that crashed she had a non-specified role for a while at Creation Records, though in fairness that company had a habit of employing girlfriends or wives of it's bigger artists from the late eighties up until it's closure. Incidentally Meg Matthews these days is represented by Artisan Talent, who according to their blurb represent " some of the UK's best-known and most creative personalities". Meg's profile can be viewed HERE

What they meant is that it's pretty sad if this story isn't true at all but they threw Liam's name into the mix to gain more attention for a band that is managed by Liam's gf herself...but who knows,he might have really listened to them and liked what he heard

I like Bob Dylan because my dad used to play Bob Dylan, that goes for the Beatles, Stones and a few others. What does that mean? Its not really a revelation to think Liam might like a band he hear's often. I can't believe I have to say it, its so obvious. So the fanatical desire to run down any mention of Liam is not, I don't think, for the reasons you stated.

So, while thomaslivesforever keeps moaning for no apparent reason... I like every track on the album but I'm absolutely in love with Outside of the Heart of It. It's a shame that it's not available anywhere on YouTube so I can't link it here. Honestly, the guitar in it totally sounds like Johnny Marr. I mean, literally! Fucking great song!

I absolutely love this band and I don't care if it was Liam, Debbie or Genghis Khan or anyone else who drew any attention to them. The point is, their album's a bright spot on a largely bleak musical landscape and I'm very glad I've come across them.
