I mean, is this real? Or is it some bizarre, psychotic manufactured-by-management unholy schtup between/commercial mashup of The Beatles and One Direction?
Perhaps you can make the call after checking out these kids' official website OVER HERE.
In all seriousness, I chanced across the above by accident the other day and for the life of me I can't decide what I think about it. Help me out here, folks!!! 😎

They're good, maybe very good. Worth keeping an eye & ear on.
Could The Lemon Twigs have inspired a mini musical movement?

Issac Asimov behind the production board? ;>
Good song if you keep your eyes closed.
I think that's it, actually.
A couple weeks ago, a song stylized to be 1964 Brit Invasion by a band called the Starliners popped up. It was pretty great, so I went looking for album info in all the usual places. Only generic stuff was to be found, so f*** em.
I agree it's better without the video. I like it, sounds like the Spongetones. Singer sounds like Mike Viola. We'll see if this is what the rest of their stuff sounds like.
Very much like. No names or backstory info on the website. Hate to be the oldster curmudgeon, but is this real? Possibly fake? The live crowds 'look' real....but......................
What I would say to them: "Hey guys, I like that thing you do!"...fully ironically.
Influenced by the Oneders, perhaps?
It looks bogus to me, but who knows?
AI?
Went over to Bandcamp. I'll give them this -
they could pack a bar on a Saturday night. 🍻

They're good fun!

That singer sounds exactly like a singer from the classic era we've discussed here many times over the years but whose name I can''t remember. Help me, somebody!
He looks like that kid in highschool who had a band and you said wtf, last I saw him I stuffed him into a locker
I love this, so I hope it isn't AI.
Too mannered. That's their dad at the controls (maybe) who told them how they should dress, what guitars/amps to get etc. Only half kidding.
Hats off to the youth of today, I guess. This would be like me and my buddies forming a big band when I was in high school.

Everything’s starting to sound like AI. The vocal is suspiciously perfect. Their website looks like the typical AI scam site. Part of me likes the song in a Pavlovian way, another part of me says it’s “derivative”.
I came across their name a couple months back while searching for new Brit guitar bands. All that was on YT at the time were live clips. I like it more with each listen, even the vid.
