What the hell are they doing there? I'd hoped they'd disappeared into the mists of time with all the other dimly remembered, shit, shoe gazing skinny boys.

And they were from Oxford.

Jesus! People will be be hailing the NME C86 compilation tape as a minor masterpiece if this sort of thing carries on.
