[@bromarvids5186]

True story. Saw them live in Leeds England (Yorkshire). Me and my mate started the Yorkshire chant 'york-shire! YORK-SHIRE!'. everyone in the small venue we're shouting it in unison it was awesome. Later outside we we're having a smoke and the lead singer asked for a smoke. We couldn't believe it. 'awesome gig man. You killed', as he lights his smoke. 'ah, I'm not sure about that.' I looked at my mate in disbelief. 'nah man, it was great mate!'. 'then why was everyone shouting your shit! Your shit!' we couldn't believe it. 'nah mate. Everyone was chanting york'shire. You're in Yorkshire mate. It was literally us that started it man'. The first smile spring to his face. 'no way man! We honestly thought the you Brits had intentially gone out of your way to buy tickets travel here to tell us we're shit to our face'. Brilliant.

Scauldy Brown they purposely sold out with the singles from their first album so they could gain from that and then be able to do whatever they wanted after

[@bluesolace9052]

Sand Eraser I thought they did that on accident with their first successful singles. I think it’s better to have a great underground following spiked up and then sell out. Because I think underground fans would be more loyal and value the artist’s creativity more.

[@twentyoneHz]

They literally tried to make the most basic pop song as their first single so they’d be set for life. They sold out immediately haha

[@George_Davies]

The songs from Oracular Spectacular were majorly parodic of, and ironically deeply successful in, the mainstream. They've spent the subsequent 3 LPs doing exactly what they want. Think it's perhaps a little more complicated than 'they sold out' or 'they never sold out'. Doesn't change how good it all sounds though!
