My Vitriol - Always Your Way - Top Of The Pops - Friday 23rd February 2001

[@alainmagbual3204]

It's 2020 and my love for their songs never fade! Classic geniuses

[@Xinaseason]

Yes! And go a's!

[@paullasky6865]

Sooooo gooooooood. A nugget of gold from the 90s/2000s.

[@adamknight7041]

Rare to see a TOTP performance which was actually live, fair play to them for sticking to their guns and not allowing the shows producer's to overrule them.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@aroundth3fur not shoegaze

[@TheMusicalElitist]

As studios got better, bands were allowed the choice

[@whixie]

I was there for this performance, right at the front! Hardly anyone else knew who they were but I was a rock and nu metal kid who'd gone along with friends and I didn't know most of the other artists but I was so excited about these guys and made sure I was right at the front.

[@zolfodor4835]

Class 🎸🎸👌👌 superb band.

[@Leo-hy8ct]

I just wish more people get to know this band

[@Pashwintime]

These were the days. Finelines is a classic

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

They were definitely a head of the Nu-Gaze pack, they definitely paved the way for bands like Amusement Parks On Fire, Nothing, Airiel and Whirr

[@aroundth3fur]

Narrow Head is a newer cool band that play music in that vein

[@gazeunderthesunmusic]

@@aroundth3fur absolutely I couldn't agree more

[@joebob2311productions]

​@@aroundth3furThe entire nu gaze genre seems to be doing really well with bands like Narrow Head, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind and more. Absolutely love the journey I took to get to this song

[@lucysutherland-filler2433]

still listening in 2021!!!! love these guys ;)

[@decimal_five]

This is a heavy version. Love it

[@santiospina]

I was living in Dudley, England back then... I remember entering a HMV record store and listening to this. I went inmediately to the "disk jockey " and asked who were this band: He told me: It's My Vitriol! Got my CD and just loved them.... I wonder why they faded away.....

[@hermanthetosser4219]

weird thing is... they've been one of them bands what define an era in time, early 2000s

[@evertondave5825]

A proper live performance love it

[@joeg6655]

Love his shirt!

[@taylor_made86]

What an absolute belter!

[@ЕвгенийОлегович-б1ю]

great vocal harmony

[@hermanthetosser4219]

loved this when saw it on TOTP. Great alternative music managed to scrape into the top. 40 back in those times....

[@IainFrame]

Love this song ❤

[@BibiTo83]

Only stumbled across them in 2023.. brilliant stuff. very tasteful, given the numetal shitshow that was the early 2000s

[@xoseanlife]

this is so good wtf

[@paraksarungbam1029]

Love you from Manipur,India

[@rusticman]

i wanna hear some brits get mega-nostalgic over this

[@gyromancy8427]

+Cetera Noir *oozes nostalgia*

[@azerazam]

+Cetera Noir 6 million views

[@TheBarnster1008]

I remember this, I was in hospital recovering from appendicitis

[@2confrontational]

checking out Som's shirt, kinda foretelling a bit - too bad! I can't wait for their new stuff to come out!

[@danielcropp8553]

The Secret Sessions came out last year.

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

They did appear on the show again with “Grounded” and had a third top 40 hit in 2002.

[@dummytree]

Thank you for uploading this!

[@ChatDisparu]

Carolyn Bannister - fine as hell.

[@adamknight7041]

Yeah I miss her not being in the band she not only looked beautiful but she was an excellent bassist too, she'd be alot older now of course.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@adamknight7041 As is everyone... She's 42 - hardly old.

[@ConceptCarMusic]

I managed to catch the original MV lineup 3 times in the early 00's (T In The Park 2000 along with Dundee's On Air East and Edinburgh's Liquid Rooms in 2001) and they were always great live. 'Finelines' is a cool album and it's a shame they never reached a larger audience. Anyone know if Carolyn is still involved in music?

[@ChristopherLehane-nl1tk]

AHH, memories! 😉

[@hermanthetosser4219]

1:49 - always loved that bit

[@porgyenbes992]

This is good shit!!!!

[@pancake1979]

You just have to feel sorry for them. They could have been huge. But maybe that's the way they wanted things to be. At least they had a few hits.

[@sinking1902]

I was sure they were going to be huge. Don't know what happened.

[@boorhaave5880]

@Sinking I thought Finelines was pretty lacklustre tbh. I liked the singles but the album was very forgettable

[@karlhinze]

@@boorhaave5880 interesting. It’s probably my favourite album of all time.

[@alysonpalmer9268]

They chose 2:25 to take a hiatus

[@sixSINsix]

Genial!

[@llM4ST3Rll]

F*******K i did not know about this

[@porgyenbes992]

I like them more than Foo fighters

[@hermanthetosser4219]

damn... for the career Foo's had... i'd rather a lifetime of my vitriol

[@dh1380]

Drummer needs to chill!!!

[@jamsams]

Why?

[@Antmonkey]

Mate, that drummer is SIIIICK.

[@porgyenbes992]

What gimme a break

[@TheMusicalElitist]

@@Antmonkey Looks pretty heathy to me…

[@alysonpalmer9268]

Ravi is pure genius

[@Pureevilhotsauce]

Dude looks like a lady... :D

[@danielcropp8553]

I believe that may be the point.

[@AuraCraft]

yo mama!

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Still looks better than you, cretin.

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Lady looks like a dude
