Bands that sound like The Beatles which people might not have heard

[GK]

Well done for the AP ref.
Also good shout on the band. Never heard of them before will be listening to them. The name, the spelling of their name and their songs sound exactly like the 60s psych/garage stuff I love. Cheers



Prefer their later work. Shark Sandwich especially.

Not a massive Beatles fan so i wont bother with lesser imitations

 

[What A Waster]

That's pure McCartney. Played a couple of their other tunes and he sings very similarly

 

[heston]

The Dukes Of Stratosphere, (XTC) do a nice tip of the hat to the psychedelic bands of the 60's the Beatles included.

It'll be the best of the Beatles.

Love the Dukes, Vanishing Girl is a fantastic song.

Certainly is....

 

[Barrington Womble]

Pugwash,who are essentially a mixture of Beatles,XTC and ELO...

OP should also check out Deface the Music by Utopia, especially I Just Wanna Touch You.

No one mentioned the Flamin Groovies?

 

[Scotsmackem]

Any mention of Klaatu?

 

[EDGE]

Nice one, don't think I've heard that before. Haven't listened to a lot of their early stuff, but Melody Fair is a good song from their early days as well that I've heard.

You seen the fillum? Canny.

The Knack-My Sharona.

The Vanishing Girl is definitely Beatlesesque. And I love Colin Moulding's imaginative bass work in it.

Canny good. Todd Rundgren was also in a 60s group called Nazz who were decent from the handful of tunes I've heard. Open My Eyes and Hello Its Me two good tunes.

No one mentioned the Flamin Groovies?

Good power pop tune called Shake Some Action but don't know much else

Very under estimated bass player,

John Foxx always had a bit of the The Beatles about him.
