i have no agenda, but this band is absolutely fucking shit!!! anyone can see that, it's just a case of bullshit sells....

[Puts helmet on for the abuse that's probably going to follow me posting this]

I've been reading this thread with interest today. And it was someone posting rubbish about my band that made me subscribe actually.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here, so here goes:

It depends on what you mean by shit really. If you mean "not your bag" and by that you mean shit. Well...that doesn't mean they're shit does it?

If you mean, you don't like their song writing, then that also doesn't actually make them shit.

A band can be "good" without a) pressing your buttons, or b) moving you with their songwriting.

I happen to think 4th street are a "good band". I.e. they can play, their singer has a good range and can pitch well and they're tight.

Now, at the same time, from listening to their myspace; there's only one of their songs that I can hand on heart, say I like.

Q) Would I pay money to watch them live?
A) Probably not.
Q) Would I stick around after my set if we were on the same bill as them?
A) Well...I have done.
Q) Do I think they're a bit too Stereophonics and as such, not the most original of acts?
A) Yes, I do. I think they need to find their own sound.

They seem nice enough guys when I've spoken to them. But you have to speak as you find. I've no cause to not believe anyone who would say the opposite.
I've no doubt we all have the ability to be utter pricks should the situation arise. But again, that doesn't make them a shit band. I've seen much, much worse.

Sorry it's a bit of an essay.

Lewis from The Hustle

no abuse, i like everything....so it's not a case of my narrow mindedness when it comes to music...but they do not float my boat at all, yeh they could be tight and their singer could break windows but i'd still say they're shit, reason being i find their attitude a bit shite! so therefore my opinion of them is quite negative, but hell...i don't really care, yes i am outspoken but my views are my views, i think they are pants!

Fair enough! lol

i cant believe the hustle/monty on the run & 4th street traffic played on the same lineup.

only needed stereophonics to top off the dadrock festival.

pfft

OWNED.

lewis and nicky reunited on the internet after so many years apart. Who would have thought after a fateful day at bedwas institute. Man this thread has made my day.

i think 4th street traffic shoudl meet me at the capel for beer. i will then come back with a 100% unbiased review of the evening and/or afternoon.

Nice to see you're keeping up with things Nicky. Haven't grasped that our sound has totally changed since the Monty days have you?

Times change, we've moved on a long way since then.

Blindly labeling a band "Dad Rock" for the reason of past opinions is gay as fuck and frankly I would have expected better than that from this forum.

Go have a listen to "Good Intentions" on our myspace.

Or better still come see us in The Beech on the 28th Sept.

Honestly! You play Devil's advocate because you think a band are getting unfairly panned and what do you get? Abuse.

As a matter of fact...I'll invite anyone reading this thread to go have a listen to our stuff. I've already asked for critique. It's the only way a band can improve. And that's critique...NOT smackdown because our genre isn't your thing. I can listen to most genres and form an unbiased opinion of a band, even if they're not my cup of proverbial tea.

It's produced and recorded by Romesh from Longwave (Dopamine, The Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses etc).

I'd really like to hear/read what people think of it.

It certainly is badly out of date.

There's a link to our myspace on my posting profile. Just like most other people. It looks like this:

Sorry. My sarcasm scanner was a little over zealous there.
