Another vaguely comedy hair metal band Hot Leg also incorporated glam rock into songs like 'Gay In The 80's' and 'Cocktails'. Need we go on? A number two single on your first go is not bad though is it? What followed, however, was nothing short of disastrous.
Just one more single was released in six months before band member Daniel Pearce quit the band leaving them no choice but to split the following day.
Since their demise the members of One True Voice have failed to scale the heights of success and Daniel was recently seen failing to get to the final stages of this years X Factor in front of one time contemporary Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud, now a multi-millionaire X Factor judge. Why you start a pop punk band who can't see past Fall Out Boy for influences of course!
Trace Cyrus is the lead in this group of wannabe punks and his equine features gallop their way through everything Metro Station do. Famous purely through association the bands biggest hit is the catchy but infuriating 'Shake It'. Unlike his sister who would never do anything rebellious or naughty, Trace is covered in tattoos including the phrase 'Songs Of Victory' on his chest and a coffin on his throat.
What a rebel. The Script - OK, Mums need something to listen to - nobody wants to find their Radiohead CD's in the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon, but surely the women who brought us into this world deserve better than rubbish like The Script they are served? Towers Of London - Well where to start? Probably the worst band musically of the decade this group of peroxide punks have gained notoriety for a series of publicity stunts.
These include a fly on the wall TV show including totally not faked raises eyebrows scenes of the band fighting people in the streets and sending excrement to a writer who gave them a bad review. If ever there proof that British pop music was in a dire state in the first half of the noughties then it's this. Across their three studio albums, James, Charlie and Matt inflicted such nightmarish songs as 'Year ', 'Air Hostess' and 'Thunderbirds' upon our poor ears.
Worse, the band members went on to respectively spawn the equally turgid McFly, Son of Dork and Fightstar. At 13, already, in his own words, "ambitious" , Borrell became the lead singer of a band called Oblivion, with some older boys from school. Oblivion split citing creative differences and too much geography homework, but Borrell was still desperate to inveigle his way into London's music scene. And, when he left school with a burgeoning interest in narcotics , he headed straight for the noisy boroughs of Camden and Dalston, where he met, among other people, Pete Doherty.
He also took to wearing a bowler hat. Meanwhile Doherty was pretty clean living and concentrated on his music. At some point, they swapped roles. In his late teens and early twenties, Borrell plied his Dylan-esque brand of acoustic folk around London's smaller venues, and occasionally filled in on bass for The Libertines.
At one gig in , supporting The Libertines, Borrell caught the eye of Roger Morton, then The Libertines' manager, who thought "this kid's got something", and decided to take him on. It took three years, and various experiments with gospel singers and tambourines, for Razorlight to emerge as a recognisable ensemble, but when they did, they turned heads immediately. Galpern was one of the first people to see Razorlight play, but declined to sign them.
We ended up on this estate, and Razorlight were in this room, and we saw a rehearsal. I saw [Johnny] and I thought instantly that this guy has so much charisma he's going to be a star. I met the guy and he reminded me of Mark Bolan [of T-Rex]. That's what Bolan was like. And I liked that in an artist, I didn't have a problem with it.
He had a spark about him, and was very hungry. All he really said was 'I want to make a record'. In , amid reviews that ranged from the enthusiastic to the messianic, Razorlight released their debut album. And, with a sudden onrush of new fans, toured.
Razorlight set out to conquer the world, but looked as if they were going to shoot themselves in the foot first. And we all have our own pop hates, the ones who make us want to drop-kick the wireless, throw our TVs out the window or lock ourselves in a sorting office with a rifle and some hostages.
Some we hate purely for their music. Others we hate for myriad reasons. Then there are the ones we used to love, but who soon wore out their welcome or stretched our tolerance to breaking point. We may have lost our virginity to their records or trekked for days to see them at Knebworth.
But then they started mangling Motown classics, doing noodly jazz versions of their old hits, duetting with Lionel Richie or giving Nazi salutes at anti-fox hunting ban rallies. To paraphrase Churchill, never in the field of human endeavour has so much irritation been caused to so many by so few. He performed at Live Aid, playing first at Wembley, then flying over to Philadelphia via Concorde, just to make sure no one in the US got off lightly. By the early s, Phil phatigue had really set in.
Rumblings of a rehabilitation began when a Cadbury ad, featuring a gorilla playing drums to In the Air Tonight, became an internet sensation. Last month, he released Going Back, an album of Motown covers, which topped the charts. While in the British army, Blunty served as a cavalryman — and the horsey influence can be detected in his whinnying vocals. Have mercy! When Sting stripped down to his thong, slapped on the wattle-and-daub and declared his intention to save the rainforest.
After he left The Police, Sting struck out for brave new horizons of jazz, classical and medieval music. Borrell, lead singer of insipid indie hopefuls Razerlight, he has recently encountered some success with his band's debut album, and has let it go to his head somewhat". I don't even look human". Frontman of Razorlight , aka Razorshite. They come up with good tunes, but Johnny is a bit of a spazz. He was in The Libertines for one day, and because he was kicked out, he whined and sulked, and eventually saw red and arranged for two guys to beat up poor Pete Doherty Oh he did it with his hat on, and a saddle and a gun.
Lead singer of brilliant indie band Razorlight.
