Denim

More than one artist. 1) Indie Rock band 2) Glam Rock band 3) Hardcore punk band.

1) Fat analogue synth sounds, bravura and posturing, pastiche and parody - musical and textual - and a heavy dollop of gloopy mid-seventies pop-rock are the hallmarks of the Denim sound.

Denim were the brainchild of Lawrence, the man behind Felt. But Denim are antithesis to Felt's fey, sensibility-heavy thesis. Fans of Lawrence Felt/Denim should check out Go-Kart Mozart .

All of which is perfectly true; but there is also an American band of the same name, who are very different; and about whom I, biographer Ian Marchant, know nothing.
