Hard Working Class Heroes 2008

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane's origins lie in early 2007. Almost 2 years from recording at their home studio they have become one of Ireland's most exciting new bands. Live they could only be described as a roller coaster of sleazy guitars achingly sexy vocals topped off with their trade mark droned-out rock 'n roll.

Seen them in The Academy, only band to get disqualified from the Oxegen battle of the bands. Very un-professional, boring and egotistical.Comment published 09/09/2008 11:50:24

I wish that the band (assumedly) would stop trying to get people talking about them by pasting that thing about Kate Moss into every comment box in Ireland. And also typing all the positive comments about themselves here. It's very obvious, and entirely embarrassing. Relax the cacks... If yizzer any good, people will get around to liking you. I won't though, cos this is just sad.Comment published 02/09/2008 16:31:28

I'm going to assume that poster meant "The Shit" - as in "all 80 band as The Shit - they kick ass"! How nice to see someone support all 80 bands at once! Very positive @)Comment published 02/09/2008 16:18:52

well done. you've seen all 80 bands !Comment published 02/09/2008 16:16:40

 

boozer says

it is interesting to see when one particular band gets slagged off - within minutes another band will get positive comment - people really dont cover their tracks that well. i can confirm all 80- bands on HWCH's this year are shit.Comment published 02/09/2008 16:06:58

Pants-On-Fire says

Ah come on yous are all being really really mean on here, I mean Kate Moss and the mistaken identity? Apart from neither being able to sing a note and both having to rely on their boyfriends to pass off some degree of musical talent, I don't really see what they have in common?Comment published 02/09/2008 15:47:56

It's amazing that all the comments on here stopped over the Electric Picnic weekend. Sweet Jane must have left their blackberry's at home for the few days.Comment published 02/09/2008 15:39:04

Sweet Jane's Lydia Des Dolles mistaken for Kate Moss at this years Electric Picnic 2008 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1050911/Moss-Kills-em-dodgy-wig--Electric-Picnic-sober-affair.html#comments ''Supermodel Kate Moss watched her fiancé Jamie Hince's band, The Kills, perform a mere two songs yesterday at an easygoing Electric Picnic. Moss arrived incognito at the side of the stage to watch 40-year-old Hince perform. Sporting what on onlookers described as 'a ridiculous blonde curly wig,' a black and white fury jacket and dark black sunglasses, the 34-year-old catwalk queen watched the band perform just two of their hits at the stage in the Crawdaddy tent at about 5pm yesterday evening.'' ...it was actually Sweet Jane's lead singer.Comment published 02/09/2008 12:52:54

really like it reminds me a bit of primal scream in parts. stop the bitchin its pointless sweet jane are class if ya don't like them fair enough but whats the point in expressing it hereComment published 16/08/2008 12:30:40

 

katy says

can i just say that i am absolutely mortified at what im reading here. if you don't like a band or music DON'T LEAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. i think you all forget that these people are human, and have feelings, and these personal attacks are nothing more than jealousy and boredom on your part. Sweet Jane are a fantastic band, and Lydia is an amazing front person who is completely captivating on stage. Have you gone to see other female fronted bands from Ireland? Because i have and i think its completely refreshing to see some one who can rock out harder than the boys.Comment published 16/08/2008 11:40:32

 

Paul B says

hey jay whats yr beef? did the band do something wrong on you? thats a bit of a rant you left there! now i havent seen this band yet but reading this makes me want to check them out! the track sounds class and from seeing their myspace im impressed. dont mind these negitive idiots lads its expected in dublin i suppose, you get shot down for trying to do something a little different. what day are yous play?Comment published 15/08/2008 18:46:26

 

jay says

I've seen this band live a couple of times (in truth to see what all the hype was about) and I was sorely disappointed and embarrassed. I've since also had to delete them from my myspace friends due to their bombardment of bulletins, self-gratification and homegrown hype. There's no doubt I gave them a chance (mostly due to the fact that Mainline were a decent band at one point), and they truely weren't worth it. Completely unoriginal, cringe-worthy performances from their female vocalist who seems to think that throwing yourself forcefully around stage with your knickers on show is sultry rock&roll. It's not. Several female friends of mine have commented to me about how embarrassed they have been watching her perform. Down with the frauds and wannabes...hard working class heroes is supposed to be about the real deal...the evidence from both their live performances and this weak track prove..sweet jane are not.Comment published 15/08/2008 18:15:02

Everyone with a bit of sense says

what's with people taking time out just to slate a band? This is happening all over this download chart, it's rediculous and it's just creating a bad vibe. There is no constructive criticism, just plain insulting. In this instance, Sweet Jane are being called 'stumps in pumps' - INSULTING! These are people...Comment published 13/08/2008 11:12:21

theyre hardly that bad a band if there this far up the chart i can think of alot more crappy bands than these. and although theyre not my cup of tea, i disagree with your comment though i though they were over confident when i saw them but ive also seen brmc and i can confirm that they sound nothing like brmc who are total tripe in my eyes.
