The Candyskins

Emerging from the same Oxford, United Kingdom pop scene which also yielded Radiohead and Supergrass, the Candyskins were formed in 1989 by frontman Nick Cope, his guitarist brother Mark Cope, lead guitarist Nick Burton, bassist Karl Shale and drummer John Halliday. Debuting with the UK hit single "Submarine Song," the group was soon signed by Geffen, which issued their LP The Space I'm In in 1990; Fun? followed in 1993, but the Candyskins' major label tenure was largely disappointing, and two years later they signed with the British label Ultimate.

4 or 5 Magicians

4 or 5 Magicians are an alternative rock outfit from Brighton, East Sussex, UK. They take most obvious infuence from the golden era of American alt-rock ... Guided by Voices, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, REM, Nirvana, The Pixies, Built to Spill, and early Weezer and Everclear, but could write a list as long as your arm of bands who have influenced them, and even then, you'd have to have a pretty long arm, and a pretty small pen.
