I was commenting that why on earth shouldn't people be angry about the Twang and express it here when they are inescapable elsewhere in the media. I actually care about cultural development and society and the Twang are (a) a massive, depressing step backwards in popular music in this country, and (b) a ridiculous characature of the 'working classes' created by their marketing to appeal to 'the man in the van'. That's not prejudice on my part! That's clearly what they and their PR are trying to achieve. Their music is a poor copy of baggy era shite appealing to men who want to regain some sense of youth, drink 12 pints and have a fight. It shouldn't be like that. There are hundreds of incredible ground-breaking bands in this country far more deserving of the attention. This is music that shouldn't have got out of the back room of the local pub. That's not a fact, it's my opinion. But why oh why shouldn't I express it? It is not unreasonable.

Your arguments are rude and have no point. Nobody gives a fuck how popular TT are with idiots who listen to what they are told to listen to or want some pathetic reincarnation of the worst that britpop had to offer. It's my opinion that they are shit. If you don't like it you don't have to go far to find people who disagree.

You're so see through, you've made that comment about 'liking some songs and not others' before. Why don't they deserve the 'shit' they get on here? What they definitely don't deserve is the stupid over-exposure they have received, blanket radio play and DJs telling the world how great they are with one hand taking a wad of money and the other hand with crossed fingers behind their back.

You are quite clearly either a member of the band, their manager or a family member. Are you worried that your reviews are turning shit? The best reviews I have seen have described you as mediocre. How sad. I'd get back in touch with the HP sauce factory, they might still have a job for you.

cos all being well they'll have crawled back under the rock they came from by this time next year

Fucking Hell! I thought that link was going to be to the "Sound of 2007" story.

They were TERRIBLE. Its 'music' for people who are 'ard and like proper rock 'n' fookin roll. IE NOT ME.

and everybody involved in pedalling this tosh should be utterly, utterly ashamed.

Fuck all.

10 years ago you could have gone on the polo tower. But that was shite so they closed it down. You could have also gone to Mr Blobby World but that closed (although is actually a pretty park now).

Morecambe is the saddest town I know. Ages ago I bet it was really beautiful.

My brother's band played at the dome about 10 years ago. Strange choice of venue..

Ok, I agree, that looks bad..
..but its a case of rubbish name for a great stage rather than appropriate name for a rubbish stage. Someone dig me out of this hole please

on one night that should have said.

Absolutely the best festival I've been to without question. Fingers crossed for Tunng headlining Fokey Dokey on one..
