> Does any of you like a band called HEFNER???

Hell yes! My current favourite band, alongside Spearmint and B&S. Be careful though .... there are *two* Hefners in the UK. The great indie one on Too Pure, and a dancy one who have an album called "Residue".

So, do you have all the Hefner LPs? "The Fidelity Wars" and "Dead Media" are my two favourites ...... but they're all great.

I have only just came across them the other day.After loads of people (mainly Smiths fans) telling me i would lurv them and i do.The album i have is "Breacking Gods Heart" which i think is great.I am going to buy another CD tommorow.

I love B&S along with Jesus and The Marychain,The Fall,The Tindersticks,Velvet Underground,Stooges,Primal Scream,Stone Roses to name a few.What are spearmint like?????

Great. A wee bit like Hefner, but probably a bit more "slick". Just good, intelligent indie guitar pop. Their most recent LP, "A Differnt Lifetime" was my favourite album of last year. But their previous album, "A Week Away" is great too. Their site is www.spearmint.net

Glad you like Hefner. Get "The Fidelity Wars" next.

Just bought "Dead Media" today.So i will be stuck to my hi-fi 2nite.

I will have to check out Spearmint.Do you like The Delgadoes??????

A Different Lifetime by Spearmint was one of THE albums of 2001.. Go buy it.. and check them out live.. 'Put your coat on.. we're Going out' (thats one eof their great single moments..)

Thanks everyone.My credit card is going to take a BASHING!!!

Theres nothing better than finding a new band that floats your boat.

Don't buy them if you dislike the Lightning Seeds though. The sound is very similar. Sorry... I bought "A Different Lifetime" after reading a tip on this board, but although it's very nice, well-crafted pop, it doesn't quite get there for me. I was expecting greatness, but found instead a question mark on Basildon Bond notepaper. Funnily enough, I was in Leeds on Saturday (day after "Panic") and went into Jumbo Records. They had a copy in the sale racks for £6. Get down there!

I disagree with the Lightning Seeds comparison. Whilst i do agree that Spearmint are very "slick" (or, at least, "A Different Lifetime" was very slick) I think, lyrically at least, they're much classier. I actually think they sound a bit like Cinerama, but you'd disagree, wouldn't you.

Oh, I am scum BTW. That Edwyn CD is 8still8 sitting on my desk waitng to be mailed .... sorry sorry sorry .....

STH

Best thing i reckon is for me to check them out and give you my honest and humble thoughs.I hate The Lighting Seeds with a passion but adore Cinerama so it should be intresting.

Thanks for everyone who replied to my question on Hefner."Dead Media" is a great CD.I loved it and plan to splash out more muller the weekend.
