A mainstream "hard rock" duo consisting of an indie vocalist/bassist that sounds like an pop singer and a decent drummer. Instrumentally a good band, but vocals and mainstream fans would put proper rock fans off listening to them.
Critic: "Vocalist makes the band shit and mainstream fans start to become obsessed by them. He has a very light voice that is associated with pop music and doesn't fit in to the background instrumentals. Due to popular obsession, they have potential to be big."
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
