Heard a song of his once and aptly it was cheap, bland, terrible and flatulence-inducing
They still get on Radio 1 I think, along with Biffy, the ageing Foos and You Me At Six. I dread to think what the forum consensus is on those four bands in 2021 
.
I did use to think RB were estate agent rock but the last two singles have been incredibly, lovably catchy. Sorry. I confess.
Overall quality aside, maybe theyâre playing it safe by only announcing a line-up they know they can deliver. Which would be a pretty sensible move.
Definitely an element of that, itâs almost all British bands (and David Guetta), which is fair enough. Iâm sure you could put on a Radio 2 dad friendly line up that wasnât such an absolute duffer though.
Iâd imagine itâll still sell out fast with the post lockdown demand for live music and I guess organisers realise that even if these big events donât go ahead they still keep the booking fee.
Supergrass properly doing the rounds this summer. Fair play
Pleased to see that theyâve drafted Mark Eitzel on lead vocals in the middle though. Great signing.

Good effort on the gender representation lads!

Give them full marks for effort, thereâs one band with âgirlsâ in their name.
And whatever our gender, when they play, we all lose.
As in the food or âcheesyâ music?
At some point, theyâll probably say something about requiring evidence of a test or vaccination, at which point a certain line-up change is likely to occurâŚ

Wow. Just blindly assumed this was Manchester based as I read down.

I donât know whether to be reassured life is returning to normal with the Courteeners being a thing again, or to be at my witsâ end.
How the mighty Ash have fallen, playing third fiddle to one of the many boring acoustic troubadours called Tom.
Theyâve always been a thing in Glasgow, weirdly.
Surprised me as I thought they were the most Mancunian concept of all time!
People go mad for all that shit here though. Ocean Colour Scene as well. Bemusing.
Ash make a pretty consistent living doing festivals, to be fair, and I think theyâre at the age where theyâre not fussy about when or where. They play plenty of regional B list fests as well.
A handful of festival-friendly singalong indie classics + very capable live band and youâll never be out of work, I guess.
