Morrissey praises The Gutter Bravados; Paul Morley interview on Channel 4 forthcoming?

Morrissey and The Gutter Bravados?

Morrissey mentioned in a recent interview with Paul Morley to be broadcast on the Channel 4 in April that the only music he currently had any time for was an English band called The Gutter Bravados sttating "lyrically they are the only thing that comes close (to me)"

I have tried to find some of their music, but all the record stores I visited had no info on them.

Could someone please shed some light on this band that Morrissey obviously rates so highly, any help would be appreciated...

I can see why he likes them. They have a little of the ragged quality the NYD had. Lyrically their "waiting on a nothing" perspective and blunt lyrics fit Morrissey's current world view.

Um, most of the music Morrissey makes doesn't sound like the music he loves, though there have been bits and bobs of T-Rex, Sparks, Bowie and other bands in his sound.

Anyway, he loves The Ramones, too!

Why has this been posted as a news article? (Score:1, Insightful)

When this was posted on the forum pretty much everyone agreed this was just the band itself trying to drum up some interest in themselves. Complete non-story.

He's never mentioned them. This is complete bollocks.

I don't like Moz's choice in music.

Rallying against the general consensous on here - I reckon the kids are alright, seem like a lot of fun. Although they do sound very American, the singer reminds me a bit of Stevie Nicks.
