Musicians

The Resume

    (2000- )
    Formed in Norfolk, England
    Justin Hawkins, vocals/guitar/synthesizer
    Dan Hawkins, guitar
    Frankie Poullain, bass (2000-May 23, 2005)
    Ed Graham, drums
    Recorded the album 'Permission To Land'

Why they might be annoying:

    Justin's falsetto makes him sound like Tiny Tim.
    He wears a unitard.
    They have high opinions of themselves.
    On their web site's biography section, Frankie said: 'I hate the arrogance of bands who think their petty emotions are interesting' (that logic only goes so far...).
    Many people consider them a Queen ripoff.
    They may be the cause of a new hair metal invasion.
    They can't be taken seriously and critics consider them a 'novelty band.'
    Justin said basically all of the new rock invasion bands are as boring as shit.
    They demanded £1,000,000 to play at the Glastonbury festival of 2004, even though last year they played for £75,000 (March 15, 2004).
    Frankie split from the group citing 'musical differences' (May 23, 2005).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They sound more classic rock than all the other rock revival bands as of late.
    They built some of their following through word of mouth.
    They prefer the thumbs-up sign over the old middle finger chestnut.
    Dan hates computer graphics in music videos.
    They've gotten unanimous good reviews in many magazines.
    They got four nominations for Brit Awards (2004).
    Their song became an immediate hit on TV and radio stations.
    They've already had two songs in the Top Ten on the British music charts.
