Hoosiers

This is an incorrect tag for The Hoosiers. The Hoosiers are three men, but they were not always three. Before they found the third member they were a two-piece, and before that they were two one pieces. "The math's is quite simple," proclaimed Irwin Sparkes, the outrageously named leader of the rabble, "It's not rocket surgery". And it was not 'rocket surgery', it was music; and what The Hoosiers have created is a shiny great dollop of what the band like to call Odd-Pop. And it was not a lie for it was odd and it was pop.

Awesome Wells

Imagine, if you will, a chance meeting between Shakin' Stevens, Type O Negative and the teenaged ghost of Lauren Laverne in a Bootle social club. Shakey takes offence at Pete Steele's tasteless eye make up and starts kicking off, only to be calmed when the Fazakerley branch of the Jehovah's Witnesses turns up with the latest issue of the Watchtower featuring an exclusive interview with Cliff, the man who Shakey will never be. Awesome Wells is somewhat like this.

Julia

There are two (and quite possibly more) bands by the name Julia, 1) Julia was an american / band, active in the mid 1990's.
Their style resembled the frantic sound of eastcoast (more specifically DC) emo, complete with octave chords and dark, yet melodic, basslines, thundering and slow drumming and intensly emotional vocals. On many occasions it sounded like Mathew was about to break down. Some members were playing on Lumber. Members:
Mathew Yeager (Vocals)
