Big Cash Prizes an indie outfit from Stoke on Trent England made this superb video with next to nothing except their true belief in their own immortality as a fucking great band from Northern England. The sound they created goes with the indie scene that emerged from this rotten city a few years back and goes hand in hand with bands like Agent blue (a.k.a The Sport), New Education, Elvis, Motorhead and (are u avin a laf) new boy Robbie Williams of Take That and Fuck Off (dare i say it) F.A.M.E.
Spot the Difference...

This song from last summer caught my ear when i was on my way to the doctors to order more pills – I’d downloaded it for my brother last summer who did a mint (i don’t mean green but that’s what he was smoking when he wrote it) acoustic version that he played it in a hotel: Kavos, Greece to the 18 – 30 crowd where he was the weekends entertainment.

This track was the warm up tune for The Stone Roses gigs and is an all time classic acid house dance track circa 1989. A Guy Called Gerald also remixed the Fools Gold track by The Stone Roses which is sound, every time i hear it on Napster it takes me back to the raves and indie dance clubs of London where it was played in the early 90′s.
This track appeared on the Coming Up Album 1997. I think, as you’ll agree, this is Brett Anderson’s best effort…i just love that downbeat guitar crashing around as he sings his heart out about London’s down and outs.
Apart from looking like a cross between Beetlejuice and that bitch off “Through the Cakehole” this dude has serious stlye and charisma. Robert Smith and The Cure for those few of you who don’t know defined a generation and transformed the English music scene into what it is today influencing some of the greatest bands then and now.
I was hooked at 14 (that was 1986 if you’d like to know my age) having robed my my older brothers tapes (and its not just for those art school airheads). They took us from punk and early electronica and the new romantic scene into one of the very first few English indie bands and later then going on to conquer the mainstream with their mix of synths, drum machines and whirling tube screaming guitars over laid with the voice of a tortured misfit with a highly expressive voice and creative lyrics with immaculately timed one liners to blow you away.
Now there part of musical history and bound to release only rehashed compilation albums to sell their new stuff to the iTunes crowd who accept The Cure as part of the mainstream establishment sad that is as I so miss that raw edge and the underground is always much more fun.
Check this track out: The Kiss taken from the 1987 Album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me.
Since the 1960′s America has failed to provide the world with any decent bands. Oh you say The Doors, The Velvet Underground. Well The Smashing Pumpkins in my opinion are the best band from the U.S.A. since Nirvana. This tracks taken from the 1979 e.p. Virgin Records 1996 and it rocks!! Get it on….subscribe to the podcast for more great music..Join The Rebellion!!!
Russell Brand will play a swashbuckling 14th century hero in a new action comedy. The former NME Awards host, who is currently starring in comedy Get Him To The Greek, is in talks to play the title role in Hawkwood, based on the life of 14th century mercenary John Hawkwood.
