Forgotten Sheffield bands: The Dylans

Hear their tambourines inside your head

Another band that I have to confess I don’t know loads about, except that their eponymous debut album is rather good in an early-90s-indie kind-of way and their single Planet love was – and still is – a fine slice of guitar pop:

According to discogs.com, it sounds like there there was a bit of a buzz about them prior to signing to Beggars Banquet, but after some strong singles and release of their debut long-player, there were multiple line-up reshuffles and people lost interest.

The dance-music-with-guitars sound seems a little dated now, but The Dylans certainly deserve to be remembered in the pantheon of Sheffield pop history.

Since I have drafted this post, this rather fine music blog has also covered the band. It is good to see that there are some other Dylans fans still out there.
