93: Phema - 'Oomnoom'Shibi'.
I cant find a picture of the album cover anywhere. Thats how little reward this band got. Playing good old fashioned meat and potatoes rock (meant in the nicest possible way), Phema were a 4 piece from Milton Keynes who impressed all who saw them, but never quite got the push they deserved. Like the Foo Fighters with bigger balls, Jimmy Eat World but less lame at times, this is pop rock with a tank engine. You won't hear better hooks than the ones found in 'The Answer', 'Chugga Chug' and 'Promotion' anywhere on those other bands recent albums. It baffles me how this band weren't adored by huge numbers of people. The songs just sound like they are supposed to be sang by throngs of adoring fans. To boot, superbly nice gentlemen as well. I think Graham (frontbloke) does some solo acoustic stuff which is very nice indeed, look him up on youtube (Graham Hulbert). A massively underappreciated album from an equally underappreciated band.
Download: 'The Answer', 'Chugga Chug'.
