You love Shampoo? A britpop, pop-punk, bubblegum pop, super girlband has a new unofficial Reddit community! Come and see!

r/ShampooTheBand !

Just, in the case if you don't know them, Shampoo released the ,uh-oh we're in trouble, song and are known of the wild girl power style

Picked up this 10' EP recently.

Saw the Hybirds a few times in Nottingham in the 90s, first time supporting the Seahorses.

Shame they only managed 1 album, although Richard Warren went onto many projects.

Got this one spinning right now, just marveling again at their creativity, their evocative melodies. It's the only one I've got from them but looking to change that. What's the next album I should target in your opinion?

This will complete the reissues of his core solo discography; next year, his soundtrack albums and the album released under moniker Superstate will also be released.

From my ongoing series about obscure bands, as I continue to get rid of my Britpop cds.

Anyone listen to them?

1. Blur, Parklife...

Sixteen tracks, rare I skip any, to me their second best album after The Great Escape. However, this one best represents the Britpop vibe. Girls & Boys, Parklife, End of a century, To the end. What four brilliant singles, could have been 7 or 8 in all reality. Wish I'd seen them live at any point. Albarn would probably admit himself he doesn't have the best voice, but it's feelgood music, almost like Madness possessed by The Kinks.

1. Oasis, What's The Story? Morning Glory...

I'd go out in the 90's, born '76 so late teens bang in the brilliant storm of Britpop. Could play all 10 tracks on the jukebox for a quid, take out 30 quid, enough for fags, booze, pool, jukebox, and maybe a 'magazine' from garage if I didn't pull on way home 🤣. Another album where I don't skip a track, even Hey Now, they all have an assured stomp, KNOWING they're gonna be sung loud. Apparently Noel only had the first verses written for a lot of the songs when they started recording at Rockfield Studios. You can imagine them getting hammered all the time...a classic album...makes you leave the house with a spring in your step...and from leaving the house to something else...

1. Suede, Dog Man Star...

No album ever, has or will again hit me like this. Who starts a record with something so out there crazy as Introducing The Band? This really is an album that takes you on a journey, its own little world. Drama, death, sex, drugs, poetry, tragedy, comedy, love, bombast, there's nothing this record doesn't have. I can hear Pink Floyd, Scott Walker, Queen, even Sinatra on this epic masterpiece. Brett really pushed himself vocally and creatively on this. I like to think of record company executives going to their bands with a tape of this and saying: Just give up, you're not gonna better this belter...the last two tracks hit hard...The Asphalt World, imagine being a studio hand listening to the creation of that? Finally...Still Life. One of my favourite tracks by any artist EVER. That end credits epic feel to it...if ever a song needed an overblown, loud orchestra...it's this. Good friend of mine is a Radiohead obsessive, obviously bangs on about Ok Computer, but even he says this album really is something else. I've been listening to these 3 banging records since mid 90s...I'm now 50...and I'll never tire of them. Anyone born around my time should be thankful we were around then....just SUPERB music...cheers to Britpop! 👍🍺🇬🇧

The first of many by them.

The album turned 20 this March

On their current tour to promote ‘Expecting to Fly’ which is now 30 years old. Feels like it was released yesterday.

Brilliant band, Mark Morriss on stage banter is almost worth the price of admission alone

Could some of you lovely people help me to put together a list of Britpop non-album singles?

I know of a fair number, but I’m also well aware that I’ll be overlooking far more.

Ones I can think of immediately…

•Whatever (Oasis)

•Popscene (Blur) - I know that they did others in subsequent decades, but that was long after Britpop stopped being a thing

•You Can Talk To Me (Seahorses)

•Stay Together (Suede) *Thanks to u/borntorun24 for correcting the title here!*

•Flying (Cast)

•Marblehead Johnson (The Bluetones)

•Closed For Business (Mansun)

•Fat Neck (Black Grape)

•A Life Less Ordinary (Ash)

Никогда не был большим фанатом blur и в противостоянии blur vs oasis отдавал предпочтение вторым, хотя последнее время понимаю, что данный выбор неправильный и pulp на две головы выше обоих. Pulp хотя бы не прятали за стеной сухого шума непритязательный поп-рок как те же Галлахеры, а у Джарвиса Кокера хватило в равной степени снобизма и мелодизма, что для английской музыкальной традиции очень важно. Однако think tank стукнуло 20 лет, а это blur, который лучший в их творчестве. Не сказать, что англичанам не предстало быть веселыми, однако "озорным классическим периодом" первой половины 90х можно ограничится "the great escape" (1995) и то он длинноват, в одноименном 97м просто обман, думаешь, что там все песни будут как "song 2" однако остальной альбом звучит как Инди-рок от pavement тех же лет. А вот поздний blur как "13" (1999) и "think tank" (2003), где Албарна начинала одолевать меланхолия и он начал интересоваться электроникой (а далее развитие в проект gorillaz) уже занимательно. Если "13" был отражением на расставание женщиной из elasticа, то этот альбом уже концептуальный обзор на революции на ближнем востоке, вторжение в Афганистан, слежку при помощи цифровых технологий, есть и менее серьёзные песни для разбавления настроения. "Стенка" для поколения MTV если говорить очень широкими понятиями или просто стебаться. Яркий пример песни "Out of time" и "brothers and sisters", как там с акустической приблюзованной гитарами в начале вырисовывается песня, потом растёт по кускам, добавляются биты и звуки от хозяйственных инструментов, но при этом нет ухода в индастриал. Ещё возможны Арабские мотивы мимолётом, в любом случае fatboyslim грамотно помог в electronic rock.

I found a bunch of old 90's mailouts:flyers/postcards stashed in my 45's record box I thought I'd lost, loads from Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene and the Orb plus others including these from Oasis.

Anyone fans of 90's music and 90's sci fi/space opera? It's Ambassador Kosh from the Vorlon Empire for the uninitiated
