Reading above article and wondered if this new band (Ordinary Boys) have actually covering the Tempests' "Someday" - just one of my normal horrific fleeting thoughts. Does anyone know this band ?

One of them was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks a few weeks back and a couple of them have given their considered opinions on the UK Music Hall Of Fame thing that's going on channel 4 at the moment - they look like mods to be honest, young kids...didn't sound Irish though. This is if I'm thinking of the right group of course!

They're not Irish, they're English. Subject of great discussion on a mod forum that I - and a few other people on here - are on. One of them dresses mod-ish (though pictured in a suit with white sports socks and trainers) and the rest are generally scruffy Oh and they do songs about Brighton and stuff so some people are hailing them as bringing mod back to youngsters or something. Saw their Glastonbury performance where they covered a Specials' number. Better than the usual chart crap but that's about it.... IMO

Yeah I thought they looked good at Glastonbury.

Anyone heard a recent single by Mousse T called 'Is It because I'm Cool' it sounded brilliant on first hearing, half soully pop, half indy.

Cor blimey guv'na - get you!

Mousee T owns Peppermint Jam records - his mix of Moloko's "Sing it back" is brilliant. I think he's worked a lot with Bootsy Collins and Quincy Jones as well.

Thanks for filling me in on Ordinary Boys - must see if I can find any soundbytes on the net now.

Oi missus! They interviewed Weller a few months back in NME or Q magazine- sorta mod/soul/Indie influenced, and better than a whole lotta crap in the charts at the moment IMHO.

They also approach their songwriting with quite a satirical British POV. Which is nice.............

Are they like Blur circa Modern Life Is Rubbish? They look it, style wise

There's a few sound files on their website https://www.theordinaryboys.co.uk/

Remind me of many samey indie bands in the mid 90s...

what? like menswear? haha
