Sad Sells are a six-piece band from Manchester about whom I know very little. I heard a version of Don't Feel Sad on 6 Music at the weekend, and something chimed with me - perhaps the "I don't feel much, but I don't feel sad" refrain - so I investigated a little deeper. They have a YouTube channel, Soundcloud and other stuff, of course. Guy Garvey was quick to make Smiths comparisons but I think that's lazy on his part - just because they have an M postcode and some jangly guitar sounds. But aside from the fact that they are not the sons and heirs of Morrissey and Marr, I think they are making a half-decent noise. See what you think.
No, the Smiths never did harmony vocals. I like this lot, but I can't hear any Smiths in there at all.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Smiths-free.
DeleteI like the sound of these - thanks. Cannot hear any Smiths in there either, more something of a folky / country Americana vibe, especially in the second song here.
ReplyDeleteI hear folky too.
