Number 43'Finelines' by My Vitriol
Trotter’s Top Ten position : Top Ten in 2001
UK Chart high : 24 in 2001
Can you remember when there were plenty of post-grunge British indie bands at the baby-end of the 21st century (probably far too many really) all with their moody expressions and effects pedals but very little else? Then you're as old as me - congratulations! My Vitriol could have easily been bracketed into that fledgling 'indie-landfill' especially with their rockstar good looks and hip connections like bad boy du jour Vincent Gallo (who starred in their Grounded video). Fortunately they had talent and melodies to back up the hype and caused a little bit of a stir in the NME hallways. A few years later though, even before they could release a second album, they went on 'hiatus' and have only recently started rumblings of returning. The actual album's not even on Spotify for feck's sake! Here's hoping for a comeback - and in the meantime give them a bit of love by checking them out below.
