The bluetones- Bluetonic

[@frank4034]

We took this CD to Ibiza in 96 and it was the best holiday of my life. Quality memories! Not just for the CD but the 1st holiday without my parents with my mates and having some top times!!!

[@TheHollimonster]

AAAAAAnnnd I just discovered this band. Apparently I've been living in a cave for the last 20 years.

[@gisterino]

GOOD BAND !!! One of the best in the marvellous ninetines !!!

[@MrKalem6572]

2020 and still a class song.

[@kevinlongman007]

They use to play this every Wednesday night at The Academy nightclub in Southampton. And on the rare occasions they didn't i always requested it!!

[@Colatron]

Just saw them in Brum on the farewell tour - oh man, they've still got it. I can't think of many contemporary bands that play that tight, write so poignantly or in Mark's case, sing that well live! Thanks guys - it was a heck of a ride!

[@barbconch]

um I felt like a outcast listening to this in 1996 in the US while others were still on recycled grunge or crap nu-metal hip hop...feels good to know I was right

[@mesofummylol6004]

It's been years & years since I've heard this, I'm not even sure if I've still got the album but I definitely had my moneys worth, they really was the good old days...

[@turboelephant6298]

Just watched the live stream on Facebook. Excellent stuff Mark Morriss, thanks.

[@mjloy76]

I remember just how open they were when they came to New York. Very down to Earth and AMAZING when it was time to play.... I FEEL OLD!!!!

[@anitasrce]

great song.... it catapults me back to the 90ies ♥

[@HonkyCat90]

One of the best. Legends.

[@Magda78]

both ! heheh have a nice evening and keep listen to the 'tones. God I miss them.(Counting the days to see them play live again)

[@cazzamcdazza]

Another album that I played on repeat for months back in the day - still top drawer!!!

[@robertstewart7458]

met these guys years bak great guys big liverpool fans. wot an under rated band. one of the best . BRING BACK THE BLUETONES !!!!!1

[@Pedroswicked]

I agree with you completely. The first album was a blast indeed. They could have been one of the greatest bands ever!

[@gellycat]

Ah wow, this takes me back! Must put Bluetones onto my Ipod now!!!

[@blueandwhite01]

This is ****** brilliant. Thankyou Radio 6.

[@happentodie]

"no challenge to be faced without a little charm and a lotta style" couldnt of put it better myself!!!

[@ladybirdocean]

The inspiration for the lyrics to Bluetonic is from a poem by Adrain Mitchell, called Celia Celia. In case anyone's interested.

[@av6196]

Best indie band of the 90's

[@ArtAsAConsequence]

When I am sad and weary When I think all hope has gone When I walk along High Holborn I think of you with nothing on.

[@carltonbreezy]

I love the fact they would come on stage to Poison by the Prodigy. seen them in Cardiff in a club the size of a phonebox a few years back. We were chanting Blue army Blue army! Their faces were a picture. Great, great band.

[@mrpebbledasher]

I love them as much now as i did then! was 16 when this was released, going to see them in manchester in december 09, can't bloody wait! Saw them in leicester a couple of years ago and nearly cried it was that good.

[@anakinskywalker7223]

How was it?

[@suzannestoke-sanders8202]

Saw these in worthing...so underrated.

[@SkyDigital_01]

Just been to see them tonight, cracking gig

[@TomMannCenturia]

Love the mighty mighty tones. Hadn't seen this video before though.

[@KellyJaeStarr]

This is in my top 5 Bluetones tunes, for sure. x

[@fomiz]

this has to be one of their best

[@wo2282]

Best album of the 90s this one we didnt know how good we had it with the bands at the time, now we have absolute rubbish (mostly yank rubbish) God I Miss the 90s

[@weezybfree]

I'M WITH IT!!!! LOVE THIS!!!

[@BMFSTONECOLD2]

Reminds me of Shooting Fish. Love that film... even if it's a tad soppy. Still, it beats all recent romantic comedes - egh. Why wass everything so much better in past?

[@honestguy7764]

BMFSTONECOLD2 nice and simple movie.Loved the soundtrack with Space et al

[@TheDaughterofsin]

Im going to see these tonight =D can't wait

[@08liverpool94]

やっぱりええ曲ですなぁ❤

[@burtbackattack]

Yes, it still sounds fresh all these years later ❤

[@underpants1965]

Saw them on Monday (12/9/11) @ Newcastle, simply awesome. Sad end of an era.

[@stephen313]

agree with you 100%, im 35 this year, fila bjorg, lois cords and adidas 3 stripe, yes, i feel like raving.

[@shovingwords]

ha. me too. I was 15 and I loved him, sonia echobelly and louise wener

[@musicalholiday]

Still love this so much.

[@mazmackey]

The Bluetones are still going strong and tour the UK at least twice a year!!! They are touring at the moment do a search...support them ..they are the best band to see live!

[@newanth]

i have no idea why these r so under rated they really do hav sum classic tunes. i love em, but for sum reason i didnt properly hear of them til after a the 'britpop' thing. maybe im too young im only 22

[@robopecha]

when this album came out i listened to it 24/7 for like 2 weeks.

[@letswalkandwalk]

Guitar work is epic

[@ladybirdocean]

ha ha, you too, I've seen them quite a few times too. I'll look out for ya next time x

[@ribbo1]

best song.

[@The_Mansmith]

Heard them in Scott pilgrim and learned they were a 90s band. No wonder i like them so much!

[@heyvenus123]

Yep mate colorado beetle along with likes of teenage jesus, castle rock, dont stand me down etc. Those collection of b-sides are better than most of the stuff polluting the charts at the moment. The Bluetones were vastly underated yet so important to British music.

[@channnel6tv]

Brilliant brilliant band. 4 eva. Bluuuuuuuuuuuue Army!

[@AnthonyBove]

favorite bluetones song

[@madgemuso7314]

Filmed in Hounslow where I was living in student digs at the time. They were out local band!

[@JACM10]

Their early stuff was great and this is a top tune.

[@CrispyJam793]

Just a great tune!

[@xvaughanx]

i was a great time to be growing up, if i had a time machine i would go straight back to 1996

[@richarddunne4629]

this was my tune of the 90s ,

[@getupandjump]

[@mowiesee]

When I am sad and weary When all my hope is gone And I can't put my finger On the time things first went wrong I have a little secret I like to tell myself And until now I haven't told anybody else You may not see things my way Like my method or my reasons But you can't tell me that I'm wrong There's no heart you can't melt With a certain little smile (certain little smile) And no challenge should be faced Without a little charm and a lot of style So don't put your faith in time She heals but doesn't change (heals but doesn't change) And only a fool won't take the Chance to stay the same When I am sad and weary When all my hope is gone I walk around my house And think of you with nothing on And I have a list of things I go over in my mind When I can just sit right back And watch the world unwind You may not see things my way I don't care 'cause I'm not asking But you can't tell me that I'm wrong There's no heart you can't melt With a certain little smile (certain little smile) And no challenge should be faced Without a little charm and a lot of style So don't put your faith in time She heals but doesn't change (heals but doesn't change) And only a fool won't take the Chance to stay the same There's no heart you can't melt With a certain little smile (certain little smile) And no challenge should be faced Without a little charm and a lot of style So don't put your faith in time She heals but doesn't change (heals but doesn't change) And only a fool won't take the Chance to stay the same Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! wie klang madlaysia.

[@mattwalford8000]

1st time i saw these they were opening for the charlatons, really good band

[@goingbehind1093]

Piss all over the Charlatans!

[@frank4034]

@markpvd I can remember the life of riley being played to death on football focus then mate!

[@jaysato]

great track.

[@RoblinPrime]

My God, I haven't listened to this in years. Having heard it, I feel the urge to wear an ill fitting Reebok jumper and find some nerds to sit with. And not be liked. Oh, memories ...

[@MurmurReckoning]

bluetones awesome

[@54spatula]

There it is 2:31. I always wondered why the audio dipped on the album at that point. The sound engineer fucked up there. I was always re-adjusting the volume.

[@highnumber13]

Most of the singles you'll find here are on "Expecting To Fly" their 1st and best. I really enjoyed their 2nd, "Return to the Last Chance Saloon", though it probably takes a bit more getting into, some heavier/complex stuff there. They did 2 more, neither of them did much for me TBH.

[@cooldudePAAM]

My uncles the guitarist!!!!!!! Go adam

[@austenbarden1940]

my uncles are scott and mark

[@elliotdryden5963]

[@JoolsSparkle]

Mark looks about 12 in this vid... Made me go 'Aww bless'!!! Still love the Bluetones though - just as good today, if not better!

[@4567Steveo]

So I discovered this band through Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.....and I must say....I fucking love this band and yes......I thank Scott Pilgrim for that. For those who dont know about Scott Pilgrim...I highly recommened reading the comic books and watching the movie cause its FRIGGIN EPIC!!

[@zidbek]

proper one .

[@Brightyoungboy]

Brand new song out in the UK in September and album out soon!?!?!Touring the UK at the end of this year!

[@bohsblur]

brilliant band. very much the underdogs of britpop, but the best...

[@davidjack959]

Tune!!

[@underpants1965]

Bluetones R.I.P.

[@RohanTheTeaLover]

@JeredtheShy - I do ignore the radio, but I wish I didn't have to. I know LOADS of awesome and talented bands out there at the moment (flipron, 12 stone toddler, kaizer's orchestra, to name a few), and the amount of good (in some respects) that the digital revolution has had. But you can;t deny that there is a vast and overwhelming wave of utter bollocks being pumped out all the time, and that there was a lot less of it (or at least the general public didn't think it was good) in the 90's.

[@RohanTheTeaLover]

@laurenmcintyre - Still are, I think you'll find, they still put on a damn good live set, and Science & Nature is an excellent album (though that's kinda old now too). :D

[@dudu277]

Fab!

[@xvaughanx]

i miss those days, i was 14 i was lampooned for liking indie at the time

[@mkII20vt]

Yeah I rememember that vid. Got it on vhs somewhere!

[@MichelleGilmore76]

bring bk the bluetones

[@DionysianUrge]

Don't worry mate, I listen to BBC 6, play gigs as well as attend them and use the internet for good music. A comment is just that, a thought. Something a video makes you want to express. Those were my thoughts one year ago, no need for the paragraph of advice, cheers though.

[@barbconch]

listining to this when it 1st came out in America - in the minority listining to bluetones/oasis/charlatns/pulp/blur/suede - knew I was right then and now

[@EmanjoShow]

Same reason I'm here too!

[@castnoshadow06]

I need to buy one of there albums, which is the best or do they have a greatest hits???

[@1972type2]

@RichJones88 but these were out and about way b4 them and were they got there sound from! these are the original

[@PBL187]

so what do youse think the best bluetones tune is? mine's Slight Return which I believe is their highest (No. 2 in 1996)

[@PBL187]

ye this is prob theyre second best. marblehead johnson is great as well. and mudslide of theyre greatest hits album (rough outline)

[@djbigben]

Yeah, well its got everything on 3cds apart from their latest album....it's called "A Rough Outline"

[@djvbdf]

Im still living in britpop world. Anyone heard colorado beetle (b-side)? What a song - the kind of song that you wish you had written yourself!

[@ladybirdocean]

I'll wrack my brains, and try and add some other nuggets ;-)

[@RohanTheTeaLover]

@JeredtheShy - LIES! How can a time when autotune is considered 'cool' be better than a time when tunes like this were top of the charts? A time when I could actually listen to radio 1 without turning the radio off in disgust at horrific atrocities that are current pop 'songs'?! *feels prematurely old, I'm only 23 :( *
