BEST UNSIGNED BAND I'VE SEEN
Guys, hope ur all well.
I'm gonna Dublin Castle, Camden nxt weds to see a Sheffield band called CRAINE that blew my mind when I saw em in Liverpool earlier in the yr.
Know what ur thinking but dont put the Monkeys/Milburn tag on em yet they have a much bigger stadium sized sound n should blow the roof off the DC lol, think a mixture of Verve n Killers n ur not far off.
Hope some of u guys can make it, goin wi a few of my mates from work, lemme know

i dont want
to see a band called Craine, no matter how good they are
Without a Milburn tag
they're nothing. NOTHING.
We may scoff now,
But, when roof tiles from the Dublin Castle rain down upon the innocent, they may just get that tag...
Yeah
but only in a series of "Sheffield band sued after ruining venue for others" news articles.
Shortly followed by articles
about the band's rejected offers to play Wembley stadium for free, in order to pay for reparations.
this is a rubbish jag
don't worry, it gets better
(by better, I mean worse).
Alrite, yeh!
just text me wat time youll be there m8.
NO.
Ben
dude me n my mates will be there around 9ish dont reckon they'll be on before that
...
'dude'
:D
This is the greatest thread I've ever seen.
MY,MY,MY
Lotta attitude on here today, sure the dude dint mean to get anyones back up
Never heard of em but just found em on myspace.com/craine1
does it matter if they arent like the monkeys or milburn, bet sheff bands around get well pissed off with that tag anyway.
Its a bit of a trek for me but having listened to 'End of The Line' and 'The One' on their space think am gonna go
Bill
If you're going to pretend to be two
different people, at least change your typing style.
i'm finding this clown quite amusing
Me too
You reckon he's related to any Nigerian royalty?
This is gold, I tell you.
COMEDY GOLD.
i'm still impressed at how anyone
could assume that level of naivety of anyone else.
good work!
Lotta attitude on here
EVERYDAY !
Kill yourself or get over it...
KOOPA LOL KOOPA LOL !!!111
"Music taste: Monkeys, Cooper Temple Clause, Young Knives, Milburn, Oasis, U2, Hendrix, Koopa, Klaxons, AW"
By 'AW' i hope he means Andrew W K.
I don't really know why.
"KOOPA".
??
koopa
one of the worst bands in the world.
ever. i've had the misfortune of seeing them TWICE. Good god, i wanted to die.
if a band doesn't sound like the milburn monkeys
I don't wanna know.
yeh
milburn monkeys fukin kick ass!!
ho ho ho
pm: "what is ur problem vikky is all u can do rip piss doesnt say much about u does it"
dillan84 / biffo1 - if you're gonna create fake / new profiles just to promote your band, you should try to do it less dishonestly (and hilariously - thanks for the lols)
also
this band is fucking wank, i just listened on the myspace.
I made that same mistake...
Ouch, my ears...
i didn't bother
bands that promote themselves on DiS in this way really piss me off. Just say "we're such and such. hello! please have a listen to us on our myspace. hope you enjoy" or something like that. Not bullshit threads about how you've discovered a new band and they are amazing and everyone should check them out. Post count: 1.
Oh my God...
Budget-sized Bon Jovi anyone?
pm: "comedy gold ol girl, always nice to meet a fan, u stay lucky"
I shall indeed.
Nice how they looked to check the sex on your profile
before that too.
And plus how they're familiar enough with the work of My Bloody Valentine to work out where your username comes from.
I thought it was nice of him to make the effort too.
The little star that he is.
yeah, because everyone simply *must* know about a hugely overrated band
.
^ i didn't know the ref
Me neither. I assumed sueisfine was a girl
but then I often assume the girls on here are blokes so I think it evens out.
I didn't mind him not getting the reference
I don't really expect everyone too, it's hardly glaring [in fairness it was a hashed, rushed username a while ago].
I just would have prefered he maybe check my gender with a single click before making a TERRIBLE pass at me via PM.
For the record
This band is a laughing stock in Sheffield. Just thought I'd clear that up.
I wonder why...
Hah!
Remember the stabby3 post about the worst band ever? Craine got an honourable mention when it made the news section.
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/2422661
:D
that was amazing.
what a frontman. wow. like the keyboard string parts.
i remember
I think Craine have overtaken whoever that band were.
Craine are great!
I have seen these guys at Clapham Grand and they are amazing live! Its definitely a gig not to be missed. I too have seen them with my mates and we all loved them and are going again next Weds to see them at Dublin Castle. I cannot wait! Its gonna be the best night out!
And these guys are gonna be huge one day.
Rachel
i cant tell if this is a DiSer taking the piss
or another superlame jag
Haha,
I was thinking the same - but I'm fairly certain it's a DiSer.
Nah, jag alert.
All three posters signed off with their name. That's a bit too coincidental...
Plus that was the first post on that account.
Hmm
Actually,
the fact it's now an articulate female is probably another lame ploy of his behalf to distance himself from the two previous numbskull males.
Must've taken them ages to write that post...
To apply syntax rules and be creative at the same time must've had them itching their heads for a good ol' time.
And for the sake of comedy here's that video that was posted in the worst band ever article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssud4H7wNQU
Location and age of that new profile
are really reminiscent of one of their top friends...
oh dear........
hahaha......i had inadvertantly missed this earlier. now i really am bemused. What, are you like the DiS CID or something? Your own special codes and terminology? Wow. You clearly spend WAY too much time on here. This is a recreational site, for the purpose of promoting and discussing music.....am I missing something???
Clearly
i was......
being facetious.
in that case
can you please make sure the roof of the dublin castle is replaced in time for the following tuesday? and don't break anymore of the lights.
kthnx
they pretty much on have women in their top friends
"Jump on the CRAINE Train"! sigh
*only
it seems a bit pathetic
Can't make your gig I'm afraid.
But, if the Dublin Castle does suffer any structural damage as a result, I know a good Builder...Reliable, competitevly priced and polite. All work undertaken- Blown Roofs a specialality.
Let me know and I'll text you his number.
Lenny.
Does anyone know who i mean?
Has anyone here heard of The Special Relationship?
i heard thier demos on xfm and radio1 loads and listen to thier myspace....fucking fantastic.
Live they are kinda a cross between sebadoh and sonic youth!
bella
this thread has made my evening
as if Westlife on X Factor weren't special enough, this has exceeded my entertainment expectations.
jag?
is this the type of thing that a 'jag' would do? again, DIS virgin, me....noone has explained what a jag is. *big sigh....
Yes,
TSR can get away with it this time round, as the post is done ironically.
well,
shame on my naievity :p
...now then mardy bums....
....sorry, had to do it. I, for one, am an honest Craine fan. I think it is highly unfair of you to be attacking anyone in the manner you have. EVERYONE is on here for a reason, and in this case, that reason is to generate interest in Craine. This is, after all, A MUSIC FORUM. What better place to discuss a prospective up and coming band? Fact is, there's a certain criteria you have to meet in order to even GET a gig in DC. As fellow music lovers, do you HONESTLY think it's viable to make a judgement on a ANY band by listening to just 3/4 of their songs? Just seems to me that you are being slightly narrow minded! I have seen this band play live several times - including a very successful performance at Clapham Grand - and each performance offers something different. Their stage presence is second to none and at EVERY gig, they ARE a hit. And no, they're not a joke in Sheffield. You're talking out of your arse there.
I thought this forum was to DISCUSS music, not just DISS.
I am looking forward to seeing CRAINE play Dublin Castle - and not just PLAYING, but actually blowing the crowd away. Again.
So, thanks for reading. Nice to meet you all, by the way - I'm Emmi.
Oh, and I'm REALLY looking forward to reading your response's.
I think it's perfectly viable
to make a judgement based on three-quarters of their songs, and especially if the ones on their myspace page are supposed to be [logically] their best songs. Which were bad.
Hang on
'As fellow music lovers, do you HONESTLY think it's viable to make a judgement on a ANY band by listening to just 3/4 of their songs?'
NO! - 30 seconds usually does the trick.
Hello
You have to realize the problem wasn't that someone try to talk about them on this forum ( it is a music forum after all, and we like to discuss about music ) but the way it was done. Many steet-teamers or even band members have created profiles on DiS just for plugging their band once pretending to be "fellow music-lovers" having stumbled on this band by chance.
If only they had been honest by saying : "hello, I'm a big fan/a band member of *** what do you think of them/us", the reaction wouldn't have been the same !
And just listening to 3/4 of their songs is more than enough to know you really don't want more...
in all fairness
why are you jumping to the conclusion that this is one of those instances that a band member has created this profile?
"If only they had been honest by saying : "hello, I'm a big fan/a band member of *** what do you think of them/us", the reaction wouldn't have been the same ! " -
to that, I say - exactly that...what do you think of them? As I AM a big fan of CRAINE. And I happen to think they have huge potential. Now, will the reaction really be that different>?
My taste in music is hugely varied...and there's just something about their live performance. The tracks on their Myspace are some of their older works and I would say that their most recent tracks, performed live outshine these. I would agree that they need to have their best songs (logically) up there, and Im sure its just a matter of time.
I didn't say it was one of the band member
that's why I said "Many steet-teamers or even band members" have plugged bands in stupid ways in the past.
And dillan84 or biffo1 look very suspicious. You, on the other hand, have been very honest with your first post and if they'd done the same, the thread wouldn't have turned the way it has ( it would have gotten 0 to 3 replies I'm betting... )
"my taste is music is hugely varied"
"The Twang, Jamie T, Bring Me The Horizon, Pigeon Detectives, Kings of Leon."...I think not.
And Craine are AWFUL! The only success any of them is going to get is if Ian Brown needs a double, Chris Roberts on guitar might fit the bill...
did you
actually read JUST that section, or is it a case of read what you want to read?
Come on now, being petty again children :P
However, this is certainly brightening up an otherwise boring day at work. Every success has it's critcs.
"And no, they're not a joke in Sheffield. You're talking out of your arse there."
Your username and profile would seem to suggest you're not from these parts so, um, how would you know?
..ummm...
again, narrowmindedness. Just because my user name and profile suggest I dont live there/am not from there means nowt. I've lived all over and travel to visit friends frequently, be it yorkshire, scotland or WHEREVER. I have been to enough of their gigs in Sheffield and seen the response they get from the crowd every time, so um, thats how I know.
Presumably...
Those crowds don't consist almost entirely of friends and relatives?
Okay then, they're easily the biggest and most respected band in Sheffield. I should stop lying to myself.
...being a lilttle dramatic....
don't you think? At what point did i say they were the biggest and most respected band in Sheffield? And to answer your question, no. Quite simply, no.
LoLissimo!
.
Are they...
...As BIG as Heim!?
Not literally, no
But what they lack in girth they more than make up for by being monumentally shit...
The DC is actually quite easy to get gigs at,
It's a bugbear night I presume? similar situation with the Clapham Grand. The criteria at either isn't about the quality of the music alot of the time, they like any business have to make ends meet somehow...
Anyway more to the point. Craine aren't the type of band that are going to really get the juices flowing round here. For a start there's not alot of love for The Verve or Killers on these here boards and jagging isn't a good way to start either and will turn people off them.
: o
A Storm In Heaven???
But yes, otherwise.
...call me a DIS virgin.........
but what the hell is 'jagging'? someone PLEASE explain?!
since you want to know...
Read that

then that :

'Jagging'
is a term used when a band comes on this site, pretending their a fan and tries to stir up interest in / promote their band. Anyway that point has been discussed / cleared up elsewhere.
on that note.
I AM a fan. I'm NOT pretending. And so what if I want other people to be interested in a band that I like...?
Clearly this is offensive to some, however nothing ventured...nothing gained. And I can certainly say that my first experience on DIS has been, lets say, less than dull?!
So thanks for your responses. its been emotional.
night.
nobody was
suggesting you were jagging from what i've read!
It's almost feels slightly disrespectful (no pun intended) to come on a site like this and use back-handed tactics to try and promote your band and I think that is the point trying to be made here.
If you want to promote your band to people on a music site then be open and honest about it.
Surely you should be proud about promoting yourselves and shouldn't want to hide away behind some made up moniker.
The Mardy Bums
are from Sheffield, are they not?
err
not sure, but you may be referring to and Arctic Monkeys song....Now Then Mardy Bum....
NO
I have a single by the Mardy Bums
...
Yes, but The Mardy Bums...
weren't and aren't a serious band. they were, in fact, a joke. rather like the subject of this very thread, but in an altogether very different way.
"there's a certain criteria you have to meet in order to even GET a gig in DC"
And that criteria is that you bring 20 of your mates along. Which is why the place is home to a welter of mismatched crap bands whose fans all piss off after their mates have played.
Like Lyle said, if you'd just come clean you wouldn't be doing such a great job of rubbishing the band's reputation.
Come clean....
about what exactly?
And how is it that IM rubbishing the bands rep, Musky...?
Just seems to me you're going out of your way to have a go at me.....for.....ummm.....what exactly???
I not going out of my way at all
I didn't sign up just to post in this thread.
Posting threads pretending to be a disinterested party is always going to get short shrift - such shambolic amateur attempts at pimping a band do more harm than good, and are a sure sign of a worthless band.
So you're not in the band. But it's hardly a coincidence you've signed up for this thread, is it?
pretenses....
i never implied it was a coincidence. and infact, have been quite upfront from the offset that it wasn't.
however, I didnt sign up just to post in this thread either. Im just highly disappointed that there seems to be such negativity on a website thats supposed to be here to help promote music.
Shame.
craine
Has the singer just been castrated with 2 bricks, shit band,
craine pt 2
Oh think the roof of the Dublin Castle will be lifted with laughter, main stage Reading be good, thinks bottles of piss
I
actually quite like them. Does this make me a bad person?
Nah
not really. Just listened on myspaz. DO NOT WANT.
liking something
can't make you a bad person...
Or I'm a bad person.
Or am I ?
no
(that's a guess)
Ok enough of this small narrow minded pettiness.
Ok, i wasnt going to write anything on here to fuel the narrow minded pettiness that is going on, which by the way is getting to be extremely tedious but after reading all of your pathetic replies i felt i had to put something.
Just like Emmi, i too am a Craine fan and I have seen Craine various times both in Sheffield and also at The Grand in Clapham and everytime they never cease to amaze me and the crowd with their amazing sound. I am also looking forward to seeing these guys play at Dublin Castle in Camden. All i ask is that we leave this forum for positive comments and keep your negative comments to yourselves.
Thank u,
Have the band
posted a bulletin about this or something? All these 'fans' coming out of the woodworks, first post on the board, etc...
posted a bulletin
where, exactly?
Myspace, most likely.
i can.........
honestly say that they havent.
ANOTHER?
Surely Craine are running out of minions to send?
And having an opinion on a pretty dire band is far less petty and pathetic than jagging.
I have an opinion on The Twang
don't you?
A strong one actually, yes
indeed i do
and your is?
That The Twang are pretty dire.
Have seen alot of bands and they were one of the worst.
Uncanny,
I was thinking the same.
how....
very attentive of you to check my profile and find out my musical tastes. I'm guessing thats where the TWANG comment came from?
So do tell, what IS your taste in music exactly?
They were the first band that came in my head
that I with a fierce passion really don't like, I could have said Hard-Fi, Thw View, ... any one along those lines but thought it was best to use someone that I had been exposed to both on record and live.
My musical taste is wide, stuff like Mclusky, Saul Williams, Art Brut, LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, CSS, The Fall, The Kills, Gang of Four, Arcade Fire, ...
I guess
this is a perfect example of "every success has their critics"
^^
"every success has IT'S critics", even
I don't follow
'Every success has it is critics'?
Very
valid point. Thanks.
pleasure
keep it coming
errrr..........
minions to send? get a grip sue, you're clearly not fine. more like firey. I reitterate - Everyone is on here for a reason - and every1 is entitled to have an opinion...what you might consider dire, others wont. what you consider immense, Im SURE others would consider dire. It's called variety, and ya know, it would a pretty boring place if we all liked the same thing. would it not? so, yeh. if having an opinion makes me pathetic, then pathetic I most certainly am.
Firstly, I'm a he, I am fine, and I'm quite sedate - not fiery.
I think you'll find I didn't call having an opinion pathetic, I was implying that it isn't in comparison to shameful, deceitful promotion tactics.
Everyone has their opinions, and I think it's you being quite adverse to the consensus of opinions on here.
In fact you just reitterated my point yourself.
sedate it is then.
If you scroll back up the page, the very first thread i posted, you will find that one of the first things i said is that everyone is on here for a reason, just to clear that up.
I am being far from adverse to the consensus of opinions and infact am quite open to them. It's the only way forward in any situation.
And it seems the consensus here
is overwhelmingly negative.
....welll....
kudos for your input.
I want to crusssh your spiritt
good
for you
I know you are but what am I
smelly smelly
jasmine pearson bum. ner ner ne ner ner :P :P
"KOOPA LOL KOOPA LOL"
The tragic thing is...
Each time we offer a critique on a post by one of these "fans", the next jagger improves on that area.
But maybe I'm being petty!
they are not very good right now
maybe in 12 months time. Why is it that none of these Jags come up with anything even half decent?
Wouldn't it be great if it weren't like this?
Just once?
"Not another poor attem....Oh. Oh my."
?
that doesn't bear any relevanc to anything said....
I am a minion!
but ive not been sent, I come of my own free will LOL!, I get the point that everyone has made about who's actually started the thread, but that asides, I do actually like their music and am still looking forward to the gig at the DC next week, although some of the posts on here make DC sound like a dive? its not is it? (if anyone replies to this - please dont be 'orrible to me, its my first time on here!) Oh, and whats jagging?
Jagging is when
a band or band member pretends [badly] to impersonate a fan of their group, in order to get promotion and interest.
This is both the worst and best example of said thing.
Aye
That definately wasn't an "oh my..." post...
'oh my' post?
now im confused - and it doesnt take that much to confuse me! Does that mean you are mocking me? or does that mean im ok? I dont always pick up on written sarcasm!!! (if indeed it was) and ive never encountered an evil hairy hampster, how evil can a hairy hampster be?
Thanks
for that
You're welcome.
I've posted the links
to the original JAGgers somewhere up the thread...
DC as a venue isn't too bad,
A lot of good / big bands have played there in the past early on in their careers. It's a nice pub with a cosy sized room out back that bands play in.
and is the
bar pricey? (I know the main point is the music, but its good to know...)
and it
likes its roof intact.
"All i ask is that we leave this forum for positive comments and keep your negative comments to your
Nice to see someone with 2 posts coming in and laying down the law...!
:p
.
Dont like the music. Dont agree with this thread. Its quite sad
I find it quite pathetic that a band who is supposedly that brilliant live according to a few recent posts needs a reassurance from a few strangers. Your playing decent venues lads if this is the kind of shit you do in your free time you shouldnt be playing at all because your insecurity makes you look really fucking stupid.
Heres the signal for a member of the ACTUAL band to arrive and say "It wisnae me!"
Ive heard the music in full in my opinion its really negative thinking and aimless. Quite embarressing.
tee hee hee!
i wish everyone in this thread a smooth and tidy death.
me too
without the smooth and tidy
everyone?
you bitch...
everyone?
you bitch...
the smooth and tidy
was for you xx
you want me dead?
:(

I had to listen to this- after 106 replies, who isn't tempted?
I'm honestly not sure what to say
you could say the same
about megadik.
i'm still not tempted.
i'm glad I read this thread
Well, that was a good 7 minutes of my life not wasted!
Phwoar, that number 7 looks good.
I like the numbers on the new layout.
:D
More people using the word 'phwoar', please.
Well
Your jag: Firstly, your use of textspeak displays a lack of knowledge of this messageboard where text speak is not only rarely used but also derided by most users.
Secondly, your attestation that you know what the readers are thinking as a result of them being aware of the location of the band shows that you have a low opinion of the intelligence of the users; that is, you assume that the view of a band will be coloured by knowledge of their location - such an opinion of the users is very insulting.
Thirdly, if a band had a stadium-sized sound and played at such a volume at the Dublin Castle then they would literally blow the roof off and cause the walls to crumble. Too loud a volume is both stupid and also is entirely a result of volume levels on amplifiers not on any quality that a band possesses.
Fourthly, the fact some work colleagues of yours will accompany you to the gig is not a relevant fact.
VOLUME.
i'm afraid it's in a residential area and the sound limiter may have something to say about that.

Whiskey,'85, pretty sure they weren't signed at the time.
ps.
Dublin Castle is not a verb.
the dublin castle stinks
you stink.
it really smells!
i walked out after a minute. they need to sort it out.
i agree
with whoever said that to play the dc you only need 20 mates and that this results in a random mix of shitty bands.
this whole thread is so bizarre
and could only happen on cyberland.
Uhhhh....its like attack of the clones!!!
:P :P
I can honestly say
that Craine are probably the best unsigned band from sheffield that I've never heard.
I will be going to the Dublin castle to watch them. it's in cardiff right?
Well..
... everyone has had their 2 pence worth (and then some!) so here is mine, I think Craine are very average. Good night and God bless.
I can't believe I missed this thread
its brilliant
..
"If I may interject here, I'd like to point out something I think the group will find relevant—or if not relevant, at least somewhat interesting—regarding the ongoing discussion. Well, to be honest, I doubt the group will actually find it interesting, since technically, it doesn't pertain to the current topic. What I'm trying to get across—if I can have your attention for just a minute or two—is that I have nothing to say. "
;D
haha
This
thread is brilliant but it doesn't beat the Ditto thread.
Actually, do you think Craine might be interested in purchasing a barcode? I've got plenty to give away.
NO
ONLY DITTO GIVE OUT BARCODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GENUINE OFFER though?
I'm from Sheffield
And I've NEVER heard of Craine. I'm just not switched on to the local scene obvs.
I also listened
and I also thought they were very poor.
Pretty hilarious pics of them on myspaz too
wahey!
craine.
There's an entire sub-culture of craine-referencing in sheffield these days. TBH it could all backfire and we really will have the new u2 on our hands. But better.
I'm so out of touch
:(
yes
yes you are. There's more to sheffield than milburn-baiting and mstu pimping. Like this execrable bowel-surgery music. We could be observing the birth of a new masochism - watching craine (which I have done) is more of a mind-fuck than boredoms. It's genius.
you watched Craine?
oh yes
we were on the same bill (the hilarious council-sponsored 'sheffield's own woodstock' devonshire green thing)
Any band that include choreographed knee-drops are worth a squint. Probably.
The one...
Where it pissed down with rain all weekend? I saw Smokers Die Younger and Baby Long Legs and then abandoned ship, it was a washout. Gutted to have missed Craine though. That event is back on next year apparently, they've surely got to headline?
I've already
drawn up the petition. You missed craine. And you call yourself a journalist. Do the nme operate a seppuku policy as of this time?
I don't, other people do
And I'm not sure what policies they currently operate, perhaps I'll ask The Mighty Boosh...
From the Facebook Group...
CRAINE Are Going To Be The Biggest Band In The World:
"CRAINE are a band from Sheffield who are utterly different to the current "indie" bands who for some aparent reason pride themselves on not wanting to be big. With their spine tingling melodic rock epics and sing along anthems they are already creating a stir across the globe. This band must be one of the only unsigned bands who even have their own web-based PR team who work hard promoting the name of CRAINE. The five amazing guys, Ccat, Steve, Scott, Jordan and Dan all have the same aim and passion, their drive for global recognition alone would take them all the way but add to that the fact that they are one of the best live bands to have surfaced in recent years it is evident that it is only a matter of time till CRAINE is the name on everybody's lips!"
own web based PR team?
:-|
drive for recognition
that would be enough for any band to dominate, i heard that what the beatles relied on...
hmm
ive heard some storey about how they got that gig, some vote system in the local paper, and the buying of lots of papers by the band.
this was a brilliant thread.
i just went to the myspace of 'craine.
"CRAINE GOIN GLOBAL....... Jump on the CRAINE Train"
Craine are gash.
That's so unfair
I like Craine blah blah blah this website sucks etc etc.
i like craine
and I'm not even the bassist or anything.
...
have you watched the video?
the bit with the ipod at the beginning is genius.

He's been crying

he is an amatuer clown
and didnt have time to take the makeup off fully
SIDEWAYS CAP
Amazing.
Note to Emmi
You guys should have stayed silent on this.
After all, if there's a definite silence, it constitutes violence.
Seriously though, there's no way a band should ever be allowed to call a song 'Life', ever. They wouldn't sound out of place on Ken Bruce, they're pleasant enough, but it's not exactly interesting.
There's lots on youtube.
Oh, comedy gold!

like someone else said, craine have been a running joke in sheffield for ages.
they are actually worth going to see as they're so bad they're funny, and they think they're amazing. the pictures on their myspace are brilliant. check out the one of them and their 'road crew' i.e. their dads topless next to a bus!
The best unsigned band I've ever seen.....
.....has got to be a toss up between Jag & Craine. Or The Beatles. Before The Beatles got signed they were smokin'.
oh and...
http://www.themusicdirectory.co.uk/artists-list.php
Their...
...Myspace plays must be up ten fold today!
You're pointing us
to a site where the content is written by the band, and the music hasn't been rated.
So how many newspapers did you buy to get the band into the hot artists section?
actually....
none. I don't know how newspapers are in any way releavant to ^said^ website? And no, the content is not written by the band. Funnily enough, it's (I'm assuming) written by whoever runs the website. And strangely, there's other bands on there - if it was written by CRAINE, surely that wouldn't be the case?
It's just that
this same speil is reiterated on pages all over the net. Or are the band in the habit of nicking copyrighted material?
The newspapers aren't relevent to to website at all - just a dig at the way they seem to hit their career high points.
Keep up your great marketing and at rate this thread will be making the DiS newsletter.
JAG get bad press
they were never dishonest in their shameless promotion:
Hello Mate, hows it going? Just a quick line to let you know about a gig tomorrow. Im in a band called JAG and we've got a coupla support slots with MADNESS this summer. Our warm up is at the Dublin Castle tomorrow night, if your about? we've got a few mp3's on the site : www.jagsound.com
thanks for your attention. Dan

ooooohhh
now here's a 'JAG' of a totally different kind......
but altogether, jumping on the bandwagon.
jag sound...
are awful. poor production. poor quality and totally unoriginal. it's a mish mash of sound POORLY put together. To say the least.
Are you really 26?
You managed to take most things in this thread and not understand what most people are saying.
p.s. Which one is your BF then?
Stop it
It's too easy. Actually, can someone just delete this thread? The oxygen of publicity, etc...
I am
indeed really 26. On the contrary! I HAVE managed to fully comprehend all of what has been said, except, of course the slang used by you hardcore 'DiSers'. I guess that takes time :P
I think perhaps you may have missed the 'jest' factor in many of my responses.
None of them are my 'BF', as you put it. I just happen to have a high opinion of them as a band.
JAG were dishonest the first time...
Look here :

Look at your self in the mirror
I've Know these Boys for three Years! and let me tell ya I've seen them preform and they Blew me away every time with their performance!
I guess some one who doesn't know real talent! doesn't know Crap!

Can't wait for Wednesday Night lads!
CRAINE ROCKS AND ALWAYS WILL!

this is the best thread i have seen in weeks
CRAINE!
God, Emmi_London_Girl...
Are you like, the CRAINE WIFE or something?
*stifles laughter*
This thread is funny
FINALLY
some puns - just what this thread needs! Maybe Emmi sustained some sort of injury to her CRAINE-IUM when she was younger?
Maybe she was warped by an addiction to the cartoon
Crazy Legs Craine?
Emmi?

Is i anything to do with Andy Craine?
Craine touched me
Yep
You might want to report that to the authorities.
Or a skin specialist.

wow
this is like the jazz-rock thread...bad sandwich.
fighting for the cause.
I think you guys
need to go to www.myspace.com/craine1 and take a listen before you start cutting them down!
why are you guys so frigging cruel?
You're very, very late to this party
We've took listens since this thread started DAYS AGO. That myspace page has had more hits than it can handle since they tried shamelessly promoting themselves on here - I think maybe you'd like to have a read of the whole thread.
our auntie phil
beat us when young
Dorinda,

oh, Dorinda
that would so be the name of
my next single if i was in a band.
For Those Of you...
cuttinmg CRAINE Down YOU ALL SUCK!!!

"CRAINE are a band from Sheffield who are utterly different to the current "indie" bands who for some aparent reason pride themselves on not wanting to be big."
....
Well fuck me
How does a thread about a painfully average band get so many replies?
It's so funny though! CRAINE!
It's because
They've sent a million, billion minions to try and tell us that we are all [YES - ALL OF US] wrong, and that our opinions are worthless, because Craine are, in fact, going to be the biggest band in the world.
If not for that, this would have died days ago.
I'm so glad
I bothered to come back to this thread 3 days later. Too many LOLs.
I actually just tried
to listen to them, but I got five seconds in and decided to start reading the 'band bio' and had to close the page before I threw up.
Oh God...
"All the while an underlying calling is pulling the young talented spiritual guitarist towards his roots; original music."
If they're original why do they sound like a poor man's 'Earth Song' by Micheal Jackson x 10?
lest we forget

Blimey
This thread is way longer than it has to be.
Surely anyone can see that this band are a bit rubbish.
Isn't that the point?
Does Craine deserve a DiS profile ?
After all, JAG has one with an amazing Average rating: 9 !!!!!!!
I have now listened to all four songs
Ranging from tenth-rate Oasis tribute band to tenth-rate Keane tribute band, Craine present music as a soulless, passionless, emotionless, joyless, lobotomised entity that can appeal only to people who have had all optimism extracted from their being and perceive music as an aid to an anodyne state of mind.
Emotional, intellectual death; the antithesis of what it emans to be human.
oooh. ouch. harsh words.
therefore I am. :P
Dublin Castle

Just One More Thing To say! and I'm Out!

Please......
just stop
you do know
that you're just making it worse?
Not the music. That couldn't really be worse.
I love you.
I'm absolutely seeing CRAINE before I die
So cometh the day,
when the craine comes down on the infidels of NW1, and raises the roof of the Church of the Dublin Castle by the power of epic songcraft.
Hallelujah Hail Milburn and praise The Twang
It's Tonight!!!!!!!!
Be there or be square!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DiS meet-up tonight?!

Don't you mean
'Be There Or Be Square!!!!!!!!!!!'?
It's Rockingly Crainified (to quote their Facebook group).
This thread made me laugh hard
in an internet cafe. For shame!
The Gin Riots
=D
Craine is
crap =(
Having just read this thread
I think it's time to bump it, no?
No.
No.
They're no Milburn.

No.
No.
no?
Craine are really good...
...FOR ME TOO POOP ON!
anyone tempted to go and have a DiS

Best lol I've had all day!

It has a link to a transformers movie video for the song
Surely these jokers can't have had the song in the actual film?
aaaahahahahaha
I regret giving Craine 10/10 on my profile
they're more of an 8.
No but seriously I don't know how to take it off and I want to as my time aboard the Craine-Train has been a dismal and uneventful affair.
That is all.
'View all ratings'
And then click the little 'x' next to the rating
Hahaha!
may as well post this here for posterity
review of craine gig in the new issue of the laughable sandman magazine:
Tonight is Craine's single launch. Steve Craine bursts on stage like U2's very own Bono, with the exact charisma that has got them this far. With incorporating orders such as "let us beat Coldplay", it is hard not
to pick up some sort of promotion to help support the band. Their new Drummer has given them the commitment
they yearned, and now Craine will never
again let Stardom out of their reach again. "End of the line" is played without fault, but doesn't have the same
electrifyingly addictive effect as all time favourites "The One" and "Emotions", which echo some Red Hot Chilli Pepper influence on the strings side of things. With massive bridges that include epic parts on synthesizers
and keyboards, their mainstream sound is a crucial part of what makes them so great and intense.
Jon Bradwell
such a shame it's the last issue...

I saw this
And almost did a sick.
laughing?
me too.
<3
wow
at least i've learnt what jag means now!
i don't even want to listen to craine now, they sound horrific.
being from sheffield is probably why 65daysofstatic don't have a vocalist!
I can't believe that
review is for real. Surely people aren't that bad at not being ignorant and stupid.
This whole thing has kept me entertained for a shamefully long time at work.
Did I miss this?
Craine
are fucking gash
FACT
listened to about 10 seconds of the end of the line tune and it made me want to tear my ears off
NEVER DO THAT TO US AGAIN
i certainly didn't
hahaha
ahhh i love old threads, especially ones about CRAINE
Whoever bumped this...
I cannot thank you enough.
