Catherine wheel: the British smashing pumpkins
If you look at their discography and Wikipedia entry it almost reads like a mirror image of SPs original run. Especially how similar ferment and chrome are to gish and Siamese Dream. I actually think they are more similar to SP than QOTSA or soundgarden
Rob Dickinson = less pretentious Billy Corgan lol |

It seems like the biggest difference is that sp sold albums stateside and cw didn’t. But it seems like they really did come close to matching and mirroring them as far as their sound and the hits off the first three albums

When you say cw sucks you’re basically saying sp sucks. Lol You know what the only differences are between Chrome and Siamese Dream? The singing

How is chrome almost song for song not like Siamese Dream? In every way? There are maybe 1 or 2 songs that don’t match up

ok so, this first track sounds nothing like Cherub Rock - it does however sound like some Oceania track that I don't remember the title of. Better than that track, granted, but even so
the 6/8 time sig doesn't really help yer case either |

i guess it is somewhat ironic (only in the context of this thread) that Bill said he ripped the Siamese big muff tone off of a Catherine (no wheel) practice he'd walked into one day or whatev

Cw on chrome were a grunge band with shoegaze / hard rock influences just like Siamese Dream. The guitar tone isn’t exactly the same but it’s similar.

Ferment and Gish aren’t as heavy and have a lot of the same influences

I'm not entirely convinced you're not just making names up.

I don’t think rob Dickinson really cares that he never sold albums in the states everytime he cashes those radio royalty checks for black metallic and crank or collects streaming money for those songs

Catherine Wheel is a good band, but the only similarity they really have to the Pumpkins is that they are both shoegaze-influenced and like fuzz pedals. I wouldn't peg them as some Pumpkin doppelgängers, though I can see why one would like one band if one likes another.
Look, a lot of people listened to MBV and Slowdive in the '80s and liked them. |

I honestly would have thought that more people on this forum would have heard of the band Catherine Wheel, and I really hope that their reception here isn't tainted just because some dumbass took his screen name after them.

It's kind of you to play along with this social experiment of his but really, you don't need to.
