If I said to you that the singer of The Milk sounds like Paulo Nutini, what would you say? If you don't know who he is then you may ask "Who the fuck is that?", or you might say "Awww shit no", or you may ask yourself "Where is that large automobile?". The fact remains though, The Milk's lead singer Ricky Nunn sounds a lot like Paulo Nutini at his scratchiest, and as a band, they manage to cross over between Indie-Rock, Ska, Motown Soul, and dash of rude-boy Punk (think The Ordinary Boys meets a less drug-addled [...]
Remodel From: London, United Kingdom With a sound that would have been de riguer when the Jam were at the peak of their powers or at the height of the Oasis -v- Blur wars, London four piece Remodel are perfectly named. In 2010 they sound like a relic of a different age, an age when British bands knew how to write intelligent pop/punk songs that engage the brain and stir the blood. Unfortunately it's a sound that seems doomed to gather dust [...]
Well this is just horrible, I have only been posting once or twice a month. Not very blogger of me is it. I'll use the excuse that I have been working very hard trying to make my sales quota and getting my bonuses. ( I really am just a lazy bugger and have been downloading audio books (mp3) like crazy. I do have a moral dilemma about this, I am only downloading copies of books that I already [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Preston is having another crack at pop stardom. His former band The Ordinary Boys folded after a disastrous appearance on Celebrity Big Brother (well - the subsequent marriage to winner Chantelle was disastrous), and then he vanished into thin air. As it transpires, he was quietly ditching the mod/ska obsession and undergoing an electropop makeover - and we've got to admit, the resulting 'Dressed To Kill' is not bad at all. If you're intrigued, [...]
White Light Parade Genre: Indie / Punk From: Bradford, United Kingdom [...]
You know what's really heartbreaking about the announcement of the completion of the solo album from Preston who used to be in Chanelle And Preston? It's the timing , oh-so-coincidentally at the same time as Celebrity Big Brother is on. Because he was on that, you know. He was the one who had to pretend he was in a band that people had heard of, back in 2006.
Paul Weller gave The Ordinary Boys a small boost early on in what I shan't call "their career" lest people think me sarcastic. Weller told people he loved the band. Now, though, Weller is withdrawing his support . Why he's even bothering to mention this in 2008 is puzzling - it's a little bit like saying you no longer endorse John Kerry for president, isn't it? What's even more bemusing is his reasoning: "What happened to them, man? I thought he was a credible character, serious about what he was doing," Weller told [...]
The Ordinary Boys were an English indie rock band from Worthing, originally named Next in Line. They were influenced by mod revival and Britpop music, as well as the bands Madness, The Specials and The Smiths/Morrissey. Their name derives from a Morrissey song, The Ordinary Boys. Despite their limited success on the British charts, their popularity grew, particularly due to media coverage that the lead singer, Samuel Preston, received when participating in Celebrity Big Brother UK in January 2006. Following that appearance, sales of the band's albums soared and the "Boys Will Be Boys" single moved from [...]
The Crane Brothers Genre: Ska / Indie / Rock From : London, Manchester, Leeds, United Kingdom Manchester-formed but London based unsigned band, the (unrelated) Crane Brothers have been working the indie gig circuit for the past 12 months building a [...]

My lady and I are off to the Fence Collective's annual Homegame festival in Anstruther this weekend. Fence have always been based here, and being a sleepy little seaside town it is the perfect place for this sort of thing. Consequently there will be no posts now until at least Monday, when I [...]
Is it worth the import?? We think so. This week's Friday 8-Track consists of 8 UK artists whose LPs won't see a release here in the US until 2007, if at all. But for those of us who just can't wait, here's a little preview of some records you may want to drop a few extra quid for. Check out tracks from Lily Allen, The Veils, The Fratellis, Jarvis, and more after the jump!! FYI: The Artist name is linked to their homepage. The Track Name is linked to the MP3 file. [...]
Via NME: The Ordinary Boys' frontman Preston has slammed Myspace and declared the influential website officially "dead". The singer believes it has run its course because it is no longer a hangout for music fans - because bands like his now use it to sell records. "MySpace was important with one band, Arctic Monkeys," he told NME.COM. "Now it's on the check list with record labels. We've got to do some instores, sign all these posters, give away a signed guitar and set up a MySpace account. So MySpace is already dead. [...]
Good lord, it's going to be a glum day for Rupert Murdoch - not only is he going to have to start pretending to like Democrats again, but now MySpace has died . It's expiration has been pronounced by no less an expert than Preston out the Ordinary Boys: MySpace was important with one band in particular, Arctic Monkeys. "Now it's on the checklist with record labels. We've got to do some in stores, sign all these posters, give away a signed guitar and set up a MySpace account. So MySpace is already [...]
We've had the concerned friends, now we've got Preston talking about his drug "battle". That means Chantelle will turn up in the next week or so giving her angle, we fear. So, Preston. We understand he's some sort of drug zombie: “I’m a terrible self-prescriber. My hands shake the whole time, I’m quite twitchy. I’d go to the doctor pleading for pills. And there are other ways of getting them.†“I’m down to only taking one a day. I’d love to get to the stage where I don’t think about [...]
We're uncomfortable with the claims that "sleeping pills" turned Preston out the Ordinary Boys into a hypnotic zombie" : A source close to him said: “Preston was amazed when he found blood on his pillow and saw what he had done to the room. “He must have been sleep walking because he has no idea what happened. The pills can turn people into hypnotic zombies â€" that’s what must have happened.†We're not happy with the "hypnotic zombie" bit - which would suggest a zombie attempting to hypnotise something [...]
More congratulations are in order, it seems, as Preston from the Ordinary Boys finally marries Nikki Horse-faced Grace Pete Chantelle, serving their guests fish and chips in newspaper. We imagine the newspapers were there because, really, there wouldn't have been a wedding without them ("to show how down-to-earth the couple are"). The wedding was being underwritten by a magazine contract supposedly worth a third of a million quid, but: [T]he posh bash was largely free of celebrities after limelight-hating Preston, 25, insisted on the day being [...]
