3 Colours Red
These Animal Men
Mansun
Kinky Machine
Kingmaker
Curve
Shack
The Auteurs
I thought it was to be bands that were big at home but didnt catch on overseas.
In your home country.

Where does it say in the thread title that the band can not be home grown? Just bands that could've been bigger than they were.

Take it all back, put it in a box, and mail it to someone you hate. Flex should do.

I don't hate Flex enough to send it to him. Very few here are deserving enough of my seething hatred. ;) I suppose I could hit Flex on the head with that wonky bell from Koka Kola. You know just for good measure.

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.
