The Baseballs

[Cock Womble]

They're like "Mike Flower's Pops" for the Noughties.

Me like.

[American iv]

I know what you mean - been listening to them for a while, my favourite track is probably Deliah (terrible version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgsOccekogs).

Just amusing how they take an ultimately "sad" song, and make it happy!

fking awful. I hate those talentless s with a vengeance. This may or may not be due to having a teenage stepdaughter who plays the same three fking Baseballs songs constantly every fking morning and evening and all fking day at weekends. And sings along wildly, sounding not unlike a fking tortured cat

Sorry, just had to let that out. Feel a bit better now, but I can hear them as I type this and the red mist is descending again

Heard these guys for the first time on Scott Mills (shudder) yesterday.

Really great sound

[Pothole]

These arses will be number one soon. Dreadful waste of studio time, imho.

[Six Fiend]

I prefer the covers by Hayseed Dixie:

I'm sure they were number one in the Finnish album chart when I was there last Christmas. Their album was everywhere.

Tell them to do a search for Hot Boogie Chillun to find out what a proper German rock n roll band is all about

Getting all 1990's nostaligic now about wicked HBC gigs of the past.
