A Welsh power trio named for a parakeet? Of course I want to like them, but the one record I've heard (self-titled debut) just wasn't very good.

Listen again. I didn't like it the first time I heard it 15 years ago.

I'll give it a try. I've considered selling it more than once, but I keep on keeping it around even though I've been mildly disappointed whenever I return to it.

Brilliantly put and nothing more need be said. Budgie rule.

I am and will remain a HUGE fan of this band.

Bizarrely, the first "proper" band I ever saw, supporting Gillan at the Southampton Gaumont, when I was 13. I almost puked, the opening salvo of bass felt that loud. It was probably pretty quiet, in relative terms, but I suppose I only had fireworks and the occasional airshow to compare it to, so...

Just picked up Squawk!

WOW!

Using a Bean no less...

In For The Kill
Bandolier
Never Turn Your Back on a Friend

These are essential albums.

These are very NOT CRAP.

our covers band plays "breadfan" along side loads of obvious rock classics. the people of peterborough seem to love it. i don't know if that last statement renders them crap or not crap.
