The La’s – The La’s
Some artists just never wanted the 60’s to end including The La’s frontman Lee Mavers who famously wanted a studio that had authentic dust to help capture the Mersey sound he aspired to. The studio took the album away from Mavers and released it themselves. ‘Timeless Melody‘, ‘The Looking Glass’ and of course the majestic ‘There She Goes’ are reasons enough to love the album/
Twenty five years has gone and the influences of these albums are still heard throughout 2015. The dream-pop, shoegaze of Ride hasn’t been more popular as bands like Wolf Alice have proven. Sparking enough interest in Ride to have a reunion, Depeche Mode became a huge live act paving the way for the likes of The Prodigy and Nine Inch Nails. The Charlatans earned their badges as the godfathers of Britpop and Sean Ryder against the odds is still alive and appearing in reality shows. .. and Lee Mavers is still fine-tuning The La’s debut album.
