I bought A Maximum High when it first came out, (mid 90's?) and I listened to it only last week.

We used to play it at work on the late shift at full pelt.

Getting Better was our anthem!!!

Frikkin love it.

Check out the re-release with the new updated versions. It's simply immense.

Bully boy was always a favourite.

Many a Change Giver tape was chewed up by my car stereo on the way to college, they tended to be at the stage where the writing had worn off by that stage anyway so had received a lot of listens.

I still revisit them on occasion and should really make the effort to see them live.

I saw them at TITP about 6 years ago for the first time in a long time, they were on at 12pm on the Saturday. Maybe only a thousand people there in the crowd and they were inspirational.

Seen them at least once a year since and never get tired. So, so good live.

Last time with Chris Helme on stage at the same time was rather grand.

Saw them last year I think it was at Shepherds Bush - bloody superb. Still listening to their stuff, even today.

Saw the last gig of their tour last year, in York. They've still got it.

Just bought a pretty clean vinyl copy of A Maximum High for the princely sum of £6. I do like the Sheds.

I absolutely love Shed Seven.

I don't normally like the more indie type bands, but Shed Seven stood out and weren't pretentious either. But they key to them is that they wrote fantastic songs. Stuff like Chasing Rainbows and Bully Boy etc...

She left me on FRI-DAY and ruined my WEE-KEND...

They were never cool, but good fun.

Dolphin is probably my fave, but I haven't seen them live since about 12 years ago.

Lies. They were always cool. They were never liked though.

Great band live. Much less pretentious than Blur & Oasis & far far better(my opinion). Last saw after they split as Rick Witter & the dukes before they reformed. Dirty Soul & Killing Time my favourites although I could listen to them all day, I love that era of music.

Gig was tip top. Wee impromptu appearance by Chris Helme to round it off.

Have a few of their albums, great stuff. Saw them at Glasto in 2001ish, they were retro brilliant even back then!

Change Giver is a great album - Dolphin, Mark and On an Island with You are some of my favourite tunes from that time.

Huge fan. Gigs are immense as everybody knows exactly what they're going to get. You can tell that the band love it too. Usually catch them in London as they tend to do a mini tour around Christmas but not this year so having to make do with this:

Parallel Lines is probably my favourite tune.
