Tindersticks are an alternative band from Nottingham, England. Their sound is characterized by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart A. Staples are the band’s hallmarks. Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilized in the music of Tindersticks.
The band has a cult following in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, although the eclectic and unique sound Tindersticks possesses never made significant inroads in the mainstream.
Personnel
* Stuart Ashton Staples, born 14 November 1965 - Lead voice, guitar, melodica
* Dickon James Hinchliffe, born 9 July 1967 - violin, guitar, voice, piano, string and brass arrangements
* Neil Timothy Fraser, - born 22 November 1962 - lead guitar, vibraphone
* David Leonard Boulter, born 27 February 1965 - keyboards, percussion
* Alasdair Robert De Villeneuve Macaulay, born 2 August 1965 - drums, percussion, trumpet
* Mark Andrew Colwill, born 12 May 1960 - bass guitar
The band formed in late 1991, Staples, Boulter, Frazer, Macauley and Hinchcliffe having previously been members of Asphalt Ribbons. The final band line-up for the “old horse” mini-LP (1991) was: Stuart Staples (vocals) Dave Boulter (organ & accordion) Neil Fraser (guitar) Dickon Hinchliffe (Guitar & strings) Al Macauley (percussion & drums) John Thompson (bass).

If you don't give a rat's ass, then shut the fuck up talking to me. No, I'm not 12, I'm a grown-ass man, but yet you have a fucking child's dinosaur cartoon as your avatar. Kiss my ass.

I can't believe I'm having this argument, hotterthanjuly, are you 12? I didn't dispute *your* opinion, I just stated mine. You, on the other hand, had a brainfart and spat a bunch of gibberish about how you don't want to follow my opinion. So just to make it clear once again: nobody disputes your opinion, nobody wants you to change your opinion, and, most importantly, nobody gives a rat's ass about your opinion.

I think people should look at previous shouts sometimes before posting links...

Exactly, so what's the point of you disputing an opinion of mine I've obviously not bothered to change?

Well, no one said you have to follow, you jumped to that conclusion yourself...

Just because you don't doesn't mean I have to follow. And I'm not. "Black Smoke" is their most instantly winning song since "Can We Start Again?"

Black Smoke is worse than any song from The Hungry Saw, I don't see what's so magnificent about it.
