If ever a band could be said to exemplify my (and their) hometown then it's Shack. They sing songs that don't know whether to hug you, buy you a drink or offer you outside
Heartbreaking, romantic and overwhelmingly optimistic (and all this despite their tragic/disastrous history)
One of the finest songwriting talents to come out of the UK. Intelligent, imaginatively arranged guitar pop.
I haven't got a lot of time for Noel Gallagher, but am indebted to him for making their last album one of the first releases on his label.
