he's hardly one of the young offenders is he? just someone getting on with music and doing quite well. you say you're working class but i bet you go to night and day for every club fandango to listen to the art pop shite, pay 6quid in and 3.50 for a pint.

Its always healthy to see some competition between bands but manchester seems to have taken it a bit too far recently. It seems that the majority of people browsing these pages are in the industry themselves and jealousy is getting the better of them.
There is a very tight community amongst the manchester scene which appears to be hard to break into, its a piece of piss to get on dpercussion (r.i.p) or the unsigned stage @ glastonbury, if you know the right people. I think the big promoters in the city are partly to blame. Ive seen it time and time again when they dont reply to new bands and then when there is a sniff of label interest they all try jumping aboard. Ive even heard of bands ringing up every venue where they know a scouted band will be playing and try to get on the bill, quite sly really.
I think a few of these promoters or people who work for them might have glanced upon this page and been furious to see their favourite of the week not featured
