I stumbled upon, quite by accident, a band I had never heard of - [The Seahorses.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gvc31AVAmo&list=RD7gvc31AVAmo&start_radio=1/)

They are very talented, I like their sound. It seems like Oasis owes them a debt of gratitude for the sound and songwriting.

They broken up in 1999.

Another trippy band from an earlier era is Honeybus.

Wow, the Seahorses. There’s a band I haven’t heard about in many, many moons. I think that I saw the video for “Love Is the Law” the one time that it probably got played on MTV. I didn’t cultivate much interest in the band mostly because I was too busy hoping that John Squire and his fellow Stone Roses would stop being so irritated with each other and jump back in the saddle for another album.
