Steal some cars, get sent to a young offenders home

wait for some music mogal to come around lookign to exploit the chav rap scene

Before you know it, you and your theiving mates are headling gigs above bands who have been working the scene for years. You don't have to have any talent, and most of your songs are written for you and the tunes stolen from other artists.

Your fan base consists of a bunch or burberry wearing thugs who accost everybody else in the venue, but you keep getting hired causeyou're management has all the right connections.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the new thing on the Manchester scene - Young Offenders Institutes : Crime against music

There is actually a band called 'The Young Offenders', according to Agent Blue, who've played with them (as in played music with them) theyre the 'biggest bunch of Manchester scallies you've ever seen' and a mix of East 17, Oasis and Goldie Lookin Chain. The lead singer of Agent Blue was willing to bet £100 on them being in the top ten by the end of the year, the rest of the band weren't quite so optimistic...

I was at one of their first gigs ... A3634328

everybody who's heard there demos that I know of has said they are awful, everybody who's seen them has said they suck big time, except for a couple of music reviewers who are giving them suspiously good reviews.

One was priasing them for going against the songwirter concept by stealing their songs !!

I have no doubt that they will get a top 10, but don't expect me to buy it
