NED'S ATOMIC DUSTBIN: Kill Your Television (Chapter 22)

The Neds; latest additions to the indie superstar league, or just a poor man's Wonder Stuff?
Fruitbat: Nah, more like a poor man's Sandkings.
Jim-Bob: I saw them live and thought they were really good. Fruitbat didn't see them because we had a fight at the gig and he walked out. I suppose this is what they call the Birmingham sound, is it? What can you say? It's much better than their last one. You don't get the same excitement as you do when you see them live. Maybe they should releases records with hair, because that's the best thing about the Neds. They do have a tendency to sound like all the other support bands from Birmingham but they'll grow out of that. I don't think there a poor man's Wonder Stuff, though, they're actually better that The Wonder Stuff at the moment. He also says shit on the record and they've printed the lyric on the sleeve. It won't get played when the radio people read the words. I just wish they weren't from Birmingham, because I've got a thing about all those. Also, I hate bands that are in the music papers too much.
F: What about us?
J: Except us, of course.
