This is the correct answer.


They were fairly big back in the day. And they had more than one gear tune.

If we're using 'never had a top 10 single' as a benchmark then I'd have to say The Levellers are up there, too many good songs to post vids though.


Bankster will be along soon to give you another uppie. Great band.

I actually found this because I was searching for that song you couldn't remember the other week which was driving me f*****g nuts. Once I found this I added the one and only album they did to my Spotify. The album is superb.


Ha, nice one.

I mean, Flamingoes are another that should've made it, but the twins who were the driving force just didn't get on apparently. Around the time Oasis were getting big, funnily enough.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Top tune - think it was used on Match of the Day.

Mostly hamstrung by the fact that they were stroppy, awkward bastards and Ginger always insisted on filling his best choruses full of swears, nonetheless, the Wildhearts should rule the world.

This one features the late great Mick Ronson's last ever recorded guitar work before he died.

Not sure if this fits the thread as I don’t know that much about the band.

Pro tip: I recommend the albums 'Earth Vs The Wildhearts', 'The Wildhearts' and 'Renaissance Men'.

And when you're done with that, stick on either of the Hey! Hello! albums which is one of the frontman's many, many, many solo/wide works



Oh, and guitarist CJ's newest album.

If they ain't influenced by The Clash I'll eat my underpants. Good though.

I always loved Clearlake. Brighton band, signed to Domino Records and had 3 albums.
I saw them at some tiny pub in Derby (which had a massive Alsatian guarding between the stage and toilets) by the train station a week for so before The Libertines. They played Jools Holland on the first album spin but never saw them much after.







1st album is a belter and love all three

I was thinking more the whole first album as being their record to be fair. Their second album wasn't as good and then they vanished (except Richard Hawley, of course, who had a very successful solo career). I own a Longpigs drumstick that I caught at Glasto '97.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.
