Genre: grunge/alternative rock
It's a bit surprising to see an English band playing grunge, but these guys did just that. Yes, the band seems to have disbanded, as their last album was released in 2001. There are four of them, and the first three are truly grunge, while the fourth is more alternative. I learned about the band through "The Simpsons," specifically one episode about music or the 80s-90s, I don't remember exactly, but the gist was that Homer was playing Kurt Cobain and performing various grunge songs. One of them belongs to this band and is called Glycerine (in the cartoon, it's called Margarine), a fantastic track. Although I don't particularly like this kind of guitar sound, there are artists who know how to make it appealing (Travis also has a similar guitar sound in some of their songs, and I like it, even though they aren't grunge at all). I also liked the song Headful of Ghosts, and I'm still listening to the others.
They sound a bit like Nirvana
