Will probably regret posting this as it’s truly one of the worst records ever made but does qualify (thankfully) as a one hit wonder…
Jesus Christ…
Embedding ain’t working for me but Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and Jim
I Know. When Brit Pop really hit the bottom rung…
God! I really, REALLY hated that Catch single and I’ve got a LOT of shit by Britpop also-rans. Anyone else go to Thurman’s album launch at Madam Jo-Jos? No? Didn’t think so…
Girl that I used to work with was obsessed with Laxton’s Superb!
Toby Slater from Catch now runs a sex club in London.
Where’s that thread about throwing up a little bit in your mouth?
Ahhh, the night I missed the last train home after going to see them and Soda at the Water Rats. Halcyon days!
I maintain that Coming Round by Laxton’s Superb is a banger.
Ah, kiddy indie. I remember this guy, thought he was an insufferable wank.
Furthermore, the follow up single Dive In, about wet dreams (obviously), was potentially worse
Babylon Zoo : “Spaceman”
Yeah - this song is incredible…thanks to Gideon Coe for playing it a few years back and introducing me to it…like Huggy Bear says the album is good - not far from being very good…but this song stands head and shoulders above
The frontman Toby used to live near me and I remember him drunkenly blagging a lift from us back from some gig or possibly evn the Brighton Essential festival back in around 94…thanks Mum (that is quite a drive if it was the latter)…good guy back then and remember finding it quite funny when Catch broke through…but probably more of a boy-band than indie - or some cross-section of it…can’t say i am fond of this song but hope he’s doing well
Fell down a youtube rabbit hole, but how on earth did no one mention Sing It Out when talking about HOTS. Madness.
*(Unless they did, I stopped reading ~80 in)
This popped up on an old iPOD on our recent hols:

This whole album is classic! Under-rated
