Attention Derek Oliver! Derek, I was just looking through the sleevenotes of the new POINTBREAK album (UK boyband) and I noticed that a lot of the songs are written by a D.Oliver and B.Adams, and I was just wondering...? Could that explain why the opening to 'Stand Tough' is a direct lift from LILLIAN AXE, 'The world stops turning on me'? We, the public, deserve to be told!!

Personally I think that a lot of people who won't check these bands out 'coz they don't have 'big hair' etc are losing out big time. This is where melodic rock IS in 2000 and if we're not careful the chance of it becoming big again could slip away.
Just got to get the record labels and radio on board now!

Interesting that all these bands are from the States though. Are the UK arms of these labels not watching the ball?]]> Surfpunk NoticeboardSun, 06 Aug 2000 04:13:42 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4004,4033#msg-4033 RE: Hey Dave!

Pretty sure it's up your alley(!) these days. Later...]]> Surfpunk NoticeboardSat, 05 Aug 2000 07:36:11 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4004,4009#msg-4009 RE: Attention Derek Oliver!http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4004,4009#msg-4009Hmm. I always thought the picture of D.O.K. that was printed in 'Kerrang!' all those years ago now looked suspiciously like Hungarian Space Rock combo Omega to me.....]]> Dave NoticeboardSat, 05 Aug 2000 06:51:11 +1000 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4004,4004#msg-4004 Attention Derek Oliver!http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,4004,4004#msg-4004
