The Gyres - First

This another rare Britpop gem. The Gyres were formed in the mid-90s in Blantyre, near Glasgow. This is their sole album, and is pretty rare. They were part of the post-Oasis britpop boom, but cruelly never really got off the ground. Their sound is unsurprisingly very Oasis-influenced, but on Falling Down they sound near-identical to the Bluetones. However, this is a very good album and contains some excellent songs, notably Break, Hi-fi Driving and Are You Ready?. Some of the members apparently went on to form a band called Point Blank, but I've never heard or found anything by them. If anyone knows anything about them, please get in touch. This is recommended to fans of Britpop, especially Oasis.
