God i saw Honeycrack at T In The Park 95.Also at T In The Park 95 there was a band from Liverpool, singer was called Ste, he was a shaven headed nutter who just got into the crowd and walked around singing the song they were playing. They also supported the wildhearts, what the hell was their name?
I think the almighty played t in the park 95 too. Ricky Warwick released a country album supposedly!!

There was one Senseless Things album (the last before they split?) that 14yr old me held up as the single best album of all time. OF ALL TIME. Constantly badgering girls to borrow it. I didn't see much action. They were too busy listening to Menswe@r and Radish and the like.

...and I quote:
Kerbdog supporting the Posies, 1996. Kerbdog were an Irish grunge band who were crap. But the funniest thing was the audience completely ignoring them and staying as far from the stage as possible, except for three kids who were moshing furiously into each other in front of the stage. Hilarious.
I'm proud to say that those three kids were (and still are) my best chums. I showed rare restraint and declined to join in with that lonely lonely moshing. Though at a third-full Pusherman gig, I was the SOLE person holding onto the metal guard at the front of the pit, moshing away like my life depended on it. I often wonder what the band thought of that - did they appreciate the devotion they inspired in that young kid, or were they horribly embarrassed by it?

Real TV. I saw them support the wildhearts. I also saw Baby Chaos support the wildhearts.
Three Colours Red were a poor mans Wildhearts for the NME/Melody Maker readers who were scared to RAWK.
Great american band here ian, but it will remind you of being 15 because we spoke about this years ago when i 1st met you. Girls Against Boys. Kerrang used to love them but despite their support they just didnt cross over.
same with Urge Overkill and the fabulous God Machine.

No no no!! "Infernal Love" is fantastic, think of it as the In Utero to "Troublegum"'s Nevermind.
The one after ("Semi-Detached") was great too, though it all went a bit bleh after that (started sounding far too much like the Wildhearts, oddly).

Blameless! That's the band I was going to post about but someone beat me to it. They were actually pretty good.
And that (albeit american) band Brad - they released a really really good album that was sort of Pearl Jam meets classic Soul (a lot better on tape than on paper).
Not quite the same style but somehow I just got an image of the naked woman on the front of all the Electrafixion stuff.

RAW Magazine was great. It covered loads of indie/alternative bands that Kerrang hadn't started covering yet(preferring the likes of Skin or more trad rock/metal bands at the time- how things change!) and it was my gateway to discovering Sebadoh, when Bubble & Scrape got a 5/5 review. Same with Sugar. Which actually was no3 in the albums of the year poll that year . (its a shame rocklist.net have removed the RAW lists) but get your nostalgia fix from Kerrang insteadhttp://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/kerrang.html#1991Scroll all the way down to 2005 and relive it all!

Robin George was pushed by Kerrang as a rising superstar around 1985, until they realised that no-one liked him. Sounded like Magnum I think.
― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link
I remember Kerrang giving Robin George the big push back in the '80's. My memory says aor/pomp-rock w/technoflashy lead guitar playing, but I'm not entirely sure. I do remember this promo photo, where he's standing on a hilltop, bare chested, sucking his cheekbones in, and holding a bc rich guitar. IIRC he wasn't a shredder, '90's style.
I checked his website, and he's evidently still making music, so good for him, I really fucking admire ppl who keep on plugging, even if I'm not into what they're doing. I was going to check his music out on his site, but it crashed not only firefox, but my entire PC! while I was (briefly) staring at the screen, I noticed that they'd misspelled "discography" as "discocraphy" haha.
He was certainly very handsome, probably the equivalent of lisa dominique for Kerrang's (many) female readerz.
Actually my main memory of Kerrang in the '80's was this constant migraineish background drone of grim adolescent mastubatory sexism. If you were into metal & prog rock, it was pretty much the only game in town - especially after someone at "sounds" went batshit insane and handed the editor's chair to g4rry bush3ll - and if you wanted to read abt new metal releases, tour d8s etc, you were stuck w/"kerrang". But, it wasn't much fun. How I wish we'd had "terrorizer" back then.
My ex band played at this big club last year, and in a cupboard in the dressing room, they had a big pile of old "kerrang" issues, starting at something like issue #3. Cover starts liek Asia, or Fish from Marillion, with his sub jaz-coleman facepaint! I decided to rip 'em off next time we played there, but when we did, they were all gone.

That sort of continues in "classic rock" magazine, which is pretty much targeted at ageing ex-80's-kerrang readers. They have people covering various sub-genres of metal, and someone covering prog rock. Many of the writers I remember from '80's Kerrang, and "Sounds" before that. They had a feature on all the less well-known nwobhm bands, written by geoff "deaf" barton iirc.
(x-post, yeah, I remember bushell writing for kerrang, but at least they didn't let him edit the bloody thing!)

Yeah, I think that the Replacements were quite a big influence on those sorts of bands. What Goes On or someone had released all those early 'Placements records under licence (for the first time in the UK?) a couple of years prior to those bands getting big, maybe that was some sort of trigger. Mega City Four always used to dress like they'd just climbed off the roof on the cover of Let It Be.
Anyhow, 'Too Much Kissing' is a great song! The wife has a copy of Postcard CV in the back of the wardrobe I think, maybe I'll have to dig it out on Friday night. Wish I still had Snuff's 'Not Listening' though, cos that was truly a corker.

Actually, at the weekend, I got all my old copies of "mojo", and pitched the lot of them! I don't regret it either.
Pash, you should have bunged them on ebay, they sell quite well, especially the early issues.

Tony Wright is always really good value on Buzzcocks (or was, since i haven't actually seen it for ages). It used to be a cert that just as the series was going shit, they'd wheel out either him or Shovel from M People - the Buzzcocks versions of Boris Johnson, I assume.
― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 October 2006 11:23 (seventeen years ago) link
The aftermathSince splitting up, singer Tony Wright has formed Laika Dog; guitarist Mark Yates formed firstly the short-lived Boston Crabs and then Blunderbuss with biker bass player Sasquatch Bob, releasing one album to date, Relentless; whilst Leigh Marklew formed Malibu Stacey who released one album On Heat before splitting up. Ian Shuttleworth sought employment in Leeds, serving the UK's public education sector.
The re-unionThe group has since reformed to play two tours in 2005, and played what was described as their 'last EVER show' at Rock In The Castle in Scarborough, Yorkshire, on 17 September, 2005. A collection of B-sides and rarities was also issued by EMI in September 2005.
Terrorvision's original recording studio in Bradford is currently being revamped by Grant Henderson, and it will be launched as "Ivolv" in the first quarter of 2006.

The Tanya Donnelly bits of that Catherine Wheel song with Tanya Donnelly on are quite good. The Catherine Wheel bits not so much.
Kerrang! probably just excited by the Bruce Dickinson connection.
(Which tangentially reminds me via the lineup of Bruce's solo backing band - what an oxymoron, never mind - do Gun count? I know they were barely rock at all by the time they had a real hit...)
I sorta liked Jacob's Mouse. They wanted to be the British Tar. They didn't quite make it, but still.

I like two songs by AC Acoustics :(
I also bought a compilation because it had Tribute to Nothing on once (also for a track by Monkey Boy, who are probably not for this thread but whom I'm sure Matt #2 will have seen, quite possibly in the Camden Underworld) and apparently it contains Muse's first ever track and is accordingly worth some money to some sad bastards. Or was, at one point.

'Stunt Girl' by AC ACoustics was alright imo

think rare Muse stuff sells for nutso smasho prices, if you still have that comp (it's an Organ one, right?) you'll still be quids in I reckon

Tony will be presenting Acoustic TV alongside Milly (from Terrorvision) and exploring a host of old and new songs in the acoustic format.Acoustic On Tour will be featuring classics from Thin Lizzy, The Almighty, Black Star Riders, Terrorvision and Ricky and Tony’s solo projects.

Milly was the trumpet player in Terrorvision from 2005 onwards, which doesn't feel like an intrinsic part of the band to me.
I kind of wish Ricky Warwick had done this tour with Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones instead, then he could have called it Christ Almighty.
