3) Straw were a British pop band that released one album, “Shoplifting”, in 1999. Straw was formed in Bristol by Mattie Bennett (vocals/guitar) and Roger Power (bass/guitar), formerly of The Blue Aeroplanes. Later adding keyboardist Mark “Duck” Blackwell, the group signed to Arista Records under the moniker “Please” with a different lead vocalist. They recorded an album in Boston with American producers Slade and Kolderie.(Hole, Lemonheads, Buffalo Tom, Radiohead).

I have it and bloody good it is too. Such a shame they never got the breaks. Found it streaming on a fansite and recorded and burnt a copy. That was a while ago however a google and you may find it.
