Active from 1983 through to 1992, before The La's become synonymous with igniting the initial Britpop flame - or, at least, helping gather the kindling to fill the fire pit - they were firmly focused on the scene's precursor, jangle pop, laying the foundations for what was to come. Hardworking in terms of their touring schedule, in the end they would only release one studio album, and even that was disowned by the band after the label, frustrated with endless delays, compiled and released it themselves without their approval. Regardless of what its creators thought, it's an utter triumph. Spawning anthems such as 'There She Goes', the skiffle-like 'Feelin'' and 'Timeless Melody', they invoked the sounds of the British Invasion of the 1960s, but with a very 1990s attitude. Ranked by many in the best albums of the decade, if not British pop history, despite only reaching 30 in the UK Albums Chart The La's is a masterpiece which any self-respecting indie fan needs a copy of.
