The Honey Turtles - Don't You Know

THE HONEY TURTLES
Don't You Know
1991 Pulse-8 Records

The Honey Turtles were a baggy band that existed in the early 90’s who came from the Wolverhampton area. It was the era of the Madchester sound…shuffly drum beats and wah wah guitars. Biggest claim to fame was probably supporting The Charlatans on their first UK headlining tour at the start of the 90's. The band also supported the Stone Roses, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Blue Aeroplanes and the Mighty Lemon Drops amongst others. They released one great single "Don't You Know" and white label promo with remixes of this track.

The Dylans - Mary Quant In Blue (Japan Promo)

THE DYLANS
Mary Quant In Blue (Japan Promo)
1992 Situation Two / Alfa Records

The Dylans were baggy band from Sheffield. The band was formed in early 1990 by former 1,000 Violins guitarist, songwriter, and occasional singer Colin Gregory, now on bass guitar, Jim Rodger (guitar), and Andy Curtis (guitar). They soon recruited Quentin Jennings (keyboards) and Garry Jones (drums), continuing 1,000 Volins sixties-tinged retro style, but with a nod to the “baggy” scene of the time. The band were signed to Beggars Banquet Records’ “indie” subsidiary Situation Two (RCA Records in the United States), who released their debut single, “Godlike” in January 1991, which reached the top 10 of the UK Indie Chart. They subsequently replaced Curtis with Andy Cook, and released follow-up singles “Lemon Afternoon” and “Planet Love”, before the band’s Stephen Street-produced self-titled debut album was released in October 1991. After extensive touring, the band returned in 1992 with the “Mary Quant in Blue” single, but further line-up changes ensued, with Jones and Jennings leaving, to be replaced by Craig Scott and Mike Glover. With interest in the band growing in the United States, the band were signed to Atlantic Records, moving to the main Beggars Banquet roster in the UK for subsequent releases. Two further singles were followed by the band’s swansong 1994 album, Spirit Finger. In the face of disappointing sales, the band split later that year.

The Apple Creation - Gifthorse EP

THE APPLE CREATION
Gifthorse EP
1992 Amy Records

Notes :
The second release from the 90's Essex-based Apple Creation is something of a lost gem. The four piece band enjoyed rabid popularity at the start of the decade before succumbing to personnel squabbles and line-up changes that ultimately brought about their demise. The good news is that their recorded output - this EP and its predecessor, The Instant EP - both feature the band's classic line-up: Andy Mckay (Vocals, guitar), Simon Mortimer (drums and later of Mantaray), Johnny Nightingale (Bass) and Pete Saveall (Guitar, backing vocals). Mckay/Saveall were responsible for most of the band's output although songs were often credited to the band to reflect everyone's contribution to the overall sound.
The Gifthorse EP features four songs - the excellent, anthemic and string-laden Blood & Sunset, which was BBC Radio 1 playlisted; Beautiful Fool, a modern psych classic resplendant with slide guitar; Wishing Queen is a slightly daft but ultimately groovy dance/rock crossover propelled by Nightingale's relentlessly funky bass. Finally, One In A Mirror, a swirly Doors-ian slab of psych which begins with a nihilistic call to arms: "If we take a trip, let's crash the car..."
Apple Creation didn't quite make the major league, but they did make two good EP's. Seek 'em out people. And play loud!

Riverside - Taste

RIVERSIDE
Taste
2002 Swirlsongs

Notes :
Riverside's Taste is the album the group's label thought nobody wanted to hear. Originally scheduled for release in 1994, Taste was shelved by Sire Records, and the band distributed it themselves via the Internet as a six-track cassette. Considering that Sire dominated the market on new wave guitar pop acts during the '80s, the label's indifference to Taste is baffling. Perhaps alternative radio's shift from British post-punk to grunge in the '90s helped with their decision. Unlike Riverside's 1992 debut LP, One, the group actually acknowledges the existence of grunge on Taste, namely in the feedback-drenched title track and the sudden bursts of fuzz on "Marvel" and "Indiana." However, the album never gets too loud; the band walks a tightrope between updating their sound and keeping their '80s stylings intact. Riverside's songs are often soaked in dreamy riffs; telling each track apart on One isn't easy, but the group shows more versatility here. The spiraling guitars in "Marvel" and the downbeat, New Order-esque basslines in "Low Down" are complemented with keener hooks than the band was capable of on One. It takes a few spins for Taste to kick in; its beauty is too subtle to fully absorb on first listen. "I will rescue you with my music strings," Keith Kochanowicz sings on "Indiana," a heartfelt promise sadly unheard because of changing tastes.
