The undiscovered Britpop band.......2004-04-05

One of the worst mistakes A&M records (now just another imprint of the Universal records impire) made in the mid 90's was never releasing any of Dodgy's albums in the USA. Perhaps they thought they were just "too British" for American listeners to get. It's a shame and crime against music because they were the BEST-Ever Britpop group! No snot-filled attitudes like the Gallagher Brothers and Blur, and far more tuneful than Pulp, Supergrass and early Radiohead.

Dodgy created pure pop music that borrowed elements of the past (hook-crazy Beatlesque songwriting, Hollies-like harmonies, Who-Ish drumming and powerful instrumentation) and combined them with modern production techniques to create a unique sound. They may remind you of many classic 60's groups but they never tried to directly copy them. They sound like a upbeat Crouded House on many songs.

Had A&M-USA spent a lot of money promoting them and had Dodgy come over and toured thier butts off (the ONLY way to break America - videos and a few showcase shows in major markets wont do it) they might have made it huge here. A lot of wasted talent.

Its a shame that Nigel Clark left the group - they are still together but thier new lead singer reminds me of Paul Carrack and really they sound nothing like the old group.

The greatest pop band of recent years.......2000-12-01

Nigel Clark, Matt Priest and Andy Miller made up Britpop band Dodgy, and in 1996 they scored onte of Britain's biggest summer hits with the infectious and anthemic Good Enough, which was heard coming from radio all day long. With it's memorable "If it's Good Enough for you, it's good enough for me" chorus and feelgood vibe it was a major hit. Whilst sadly their only UK top 10 hit, it's but one classic on this very British collection. Influenced by 60s pop, Motown and the Stone Roses, a variety was on show here. Every SIngle Day showcases a soulful vibe and some real style. Lovebirds, Found You and Making the Most Of, not to mention their other Summer hit, this time in 1995 as this version's title suggests,Staying Out For the Summer, are among the other standouts But some of the tracks which weren't even singles are just as strong. The Elephant is a slow lament which is legendary among the group's fans, High Horse experiments with interesting swirly loops, and Grassman sounds more like Elton John than Elton himself. Overall this is a great introduction to the sound of one of the great pop bands who were sadly lost on US audiences.

This isn't Britpop, this is Popbrit!.......2000-06-07

By far the Britpop band with the least amount of "Brit" and the most amount of "Pop". I've seen a lot of reviews that say "listen to this once and it will be playing in your head all week" and here's one where it definitely applies. Effortlessly hummable, bouncy, intelligent - I only wish they had included a couple more tunes from "Free Peace Sweat" but this is the place to start with this incredible band (now only existing in shell form - the lead singer/songwriter quit).

Forgotten Greats.......2000-05-07

If you love Britpop, buy this album. It's really great-- Dodgy's songs have wonderful melodies, great production, and none of the foppy or pretentious attitude of other Britpop bands such as Pulp, Blur, etc. If you want to impress your friends with your love of obscure pop, buy this album and play it for your friends.

Bostin'.......1999-08-07

They needed to do something different from their previous two long-players, and they did.....well sort of. The most popular of the bands albums was released back in 1996, following the success of Good Enough, a poppy summer chewn written by guitarist Andy Miller, whilst sitting on the loo. The album starts with the appropriately titled 'Intro' which is followed by another single release; the rocky In A Room, where the old dodgy harmonies are ever present. The album also contains the singles 'If Youre thinking of Me, ' an oasis style ballad, and the bouncy 'Found You', but the real gems of the album were not released as singles; look out for the blinding Long Life and the smoke-along 'Homegrown'. If this record had to summed up in one naff cliche, it;d be.....not to be missed. Bostin' Mighty Dodgy Vibes continue....
