Relatively obscure bands that you love

[The Big Shrimp]

The last one from the Faith Brothers

 

[MK Shrimper]

80s Indie Band The Chameleons are great. Script From A Bridge is a cracking album.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Public Service Broadcasting.

 

[Firestorm]

The Alarm, The Chords , the Milk

To be fair most of the stuff I listen to will be obscure to the majority , it wasn't massively popular in 76-82 when it first come out ..(except The Clash / Jam and the two tone stuff)

 

[MK Shrimper]

How are The Alarm obscure?!?

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

I like some GG Allin stuff, but his gigs looked terrifying.

if you google 'wrong un' he should be the first thing that comes up

I had one of those, **** knows what happened to it! I also used to have an L7 'Smell the magic' shirt, which my mum didn't like very much for some reason...

4hero are great

Dego (from 4hero) plays at the Jazz Café in Camden a couple of times a year usually, went to see him this year, really good 4hero-esque stuff

From what I've heard, Dego was about 40% responsible for Goldie's 'Timeless' album. The other 60% being the work of Rob Playford. Not sure what the man himself actually did!

Never knew that!
I know early 4hero was drum and bass. I heard them on Trevor Nelson and went to buy the two pages album, when I couldn't find it I asked the guy in Andy's records and I was advised it was in the Drum n Bass section! That album really isn't drum n bass!

Yeah, the founder members go right back to the early days of jungle - Mr Kirk's Nightmare and all that. I really love the first major label 4 Hero album - the perfect blend of soul, jazz and D&B.

Yep 'Two Pages' is extraordinarily good.
