Makes a change for a band to be interested and interesting when interviewed. Well done to Marseille and yourself, James. They’re cool lads and I like their style and their sound. Hopefully they go on to big things.

I saw Marseille supporting the bluetones at the kanteena and I’ve seen loads of support acts and these were the best I’ve ever seen.

Sounds very much like early Verve - stating the obvious.

Very similar to a band called Pastel

Seen these lads play at the Garage in Glasgow, the wee tiny attic space, what a gig! If you get a chance go see them, they are destined for big things!

They do have some good tunes but thing is we've heard it all before. If you're gonna be the next big thing you have to offer something new, unique, and exciting on top of what's already there, especially if you're gonna be so derivative of a band like the stone roses, for example. I mean even some of their ep artwork is just a rip off of the stone roses. just my opinion

Like you just said, we've heard it all before, therefore all we can do as musicians is make music that's true to us, it's always gonna sound like someone else, fact. The Beatles are often heralded as the most influential band of all time, yet they were influenced by plenty, i.e. the likes of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis. You can be as unique a band as anyone, but you have to be inspired by someone to be doing what you're doing! 😂.

That’s why I rate BCNR as the best group of recent times, two great albums

Oasis sounded derivative and past it when they came out. SuperSonic sounded like shit baggy. I’m 50, I was there. Give these guys a chance.

Will see them later this month headlining a festival in Norwich, be interesting to see what the hypes about

Class young Band who are only gonna get Better! Re Imaging the Sound of RnR etc Quality Live to! Cheers James n Marseille 🍻

Thanks for the heads up James. Will check these lot out. I like their ambition. Like they said, no reason they shouldn't be massive.

Good to see James spending some quality time with his sons

I would compare there sound to the verve in places it's cool stuff

There's more early Verve in their music more than anything else

The major labels need to stop fannying around and sign these guys up. Viva Marseille!

It’s like being teleported back to 1991 Good luck lads 👍👍

Have seen these guys live a couple times in London. Brilliant band. Wish my band could open for them in future in London.

Love the lads tbh At first I thought fuck stone roses wannabe then I realized that’s what the world and the music industry needs. Were trying to do the same, we love the beatles and Oasis and there’s nothing wrong with it, if u wanna sound like a band that showed up 40 years ago go ed lad, what would u prefer? the same shite band that sounds like one direction with distortion? Long live Marseille 👊

Well said👊

Just listened to 'She can fly' and 'monkey in the middle'. Two cracking tunes which lead me to giving some good and bad news to the band. The good is I think as long as they get enough publicity they're going to develop a big following. The bad is most of the following is going to be a bunch of 40+ year olds! They really could have been plucked straight form the 90's and I for one am all for it!

Good luck to em’!

Marseille were an 80s metal band. TV presenter Neil Buchanan was the guitarist.

"She Can Fly" is a mega tune. Spirit of the Roses and Verve without ripping them off. They need better production -- they'll earn it.

I'm confused, I typed "Marseille band" into Google and they show me the Wikipedia excerpt, quote: "Marseille is an English rock and new wave of British heavy metal band from Liverpool, formed in 1976, disbanded in 1984 [...]".

Yes, Marseille were quite a well known band, I saw them support Dire Straits circa 79/80. Lead by Neil Buchanon the Art Attack TV show chap. They actually reformed around ten years ago with my mate Nige on vocals and did release a comeback album. Surely someone has pointed this out to them!

Well done lads. Keep bashing away and do as many gigs as you possibly can. Playing in a band (especially when you are young) is a great laugh. Plenty of madness and mayhem to come 😂

Lead singer reminds me of the bluetones singer

Good tunes boys, don't be afraid or embarrassed to embrace your influences though! Peace. x

good things happening in england makes me want to move over there !

Links yo any streaming service?

Sounds a lot like The Verve A Storm In Heaven period.But i like it.......

There's already a band called Marseille with Neil Buchanan from Art Attack on lead guitar 😅

been listening to their songs on Spotify for months now, great listen in all this new age pop garbage. keep rocking

Young guy looks like mark(bluetones) I'll give them a try✌️

The first song sounds a lot like Starsail or Make it till Monday(see you in the next one) by The Verve.

sound like the milltown brothers

I came across Forget It All sometime last year and i was hooked, find myself humming that one randomly lol. Brightest Star, Thinker, She Can Fly also class.. it's only up from here.

Seem like nice lads but they won't be dominating anything

@deshineliverpool

Ай бұрын

well it’s because of people like you that guitar bands are disappearing and aren’t dominating anything. I’ve seen the lads live and they are boss if they are not big enough is not because they are sh1te, it’s because the music industry is f ep rn, only the killers wanna be and taylor swifts

Not really my thing but good luck to them.

Why did you name yourselves Marseille ?

Seem like really nice lads but in all honesty, their tunes are pleasant but dull and just don't have the 'x factor' or quality of the bands they're very clearly hero-worshipping. Further still there's none of the ATTITUDE needed to give Rock n Roll a much needed kick up the fuckin' arse. If we want R'nR to dominate again, we need people equal to - or FURTHER - your Oasis', Roses, Nirvanas etc. Otherwise it's just pastiche.

That was weird as i was thinking about the uk metal/rock band Marseille that had Art attack guy Neil Buchanan as the guitarist lol

Their recordings are awful. The guitars are lost in the mix and the vocals are flat to the point of distraction.

Young? Check. Skinny? Check. Prince Valiant haircuts? Check. Original tunes unlike anything ever heard before? Oooops. Check Please.

Worst name for a band, though.
