YHA kicked ass, and not just because they were produced by Cliff of Gay Dad fame (not the drummer)

10. Big in France (unless they were lying, an equally likely possibility.)

12. Hoggboy have several different projects on the go at the moment. Hogg & Bailey have a new band project called the hosts. Richy is playing with Reverend And The Makers and Hugh is cooking food in Italy as you read this. Although their are no gigs planned for hoggboy at the moment, the band will gig again maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but some time soon!

So they were basically the Orlando of haircut indie?

― Dom Passantino (DomPassantino), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

but haircut indie before haircut indie really existed. 2003 - 2004 feels to me like the period haircut indie first became something more than teh rather difuse "nu rock revolution" and hoggboy were pre even that...
