InfluencesWe've all got a slightly different taste in music to each other. But here's a wee list of bands we like; Libertines, The Stone Roses, White Stripes, The Coral, Babyshambles, Oasis, The Jam, The La's, The Sunshine Underground, Dirty Pretty Things, The Clash, The View, Kasabian, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, BRMC, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys...stuff like that.
Sounds LikeWICKERMAN 2007…Opening Friday's Summerisle stage are The Common Empire, local lads from Dumfries who earned their 45 minutes by winning the South of Scotland battle of the bands - with an emphasis on all things Indie Rock N Roll, inspired by Oasis, The View, The Libertines, it's a sound that's easy to enjoy as first rounds are ordered in at the Belhaven Best bar and the murky clouds slowly disappear. "How High" is the fans favourite that inspires the barrier-squeezing locals into action, and in the end the crowd look won. Fresh from his appearance and still visibly buzzing, I caught up with Common Empire frontman Chazz - looking every bit the rockstar in his unnecessary sunglasses - and he told me: "Now I know how Alex Turner felt after Glastonbury..."(skiddle.com)
