VH1.com : Heavy Stereo : Biography (301 words) |
 | Heavy Stereo was among a number of British guitar bands signed in the wake of Oasis' worldwide popularity in the mid-'90s; in fact, their only album, Deja Voodoo, was released on Creation Records, the label that discovered Oasis. |
| Stereo from their peers was their unapologetic affection for '70s glam rock; they were massively -- and blatantly -- influenced by such glam icons as the New York Dolls, Gary Glitter, and Sweet. |
| Moreover, Heavy Stereo couldn't find the international success enjoyed by their compatriots; glam rock had long since lost its flavor with the masses. |

| Heavy Stereo were one of these unlucky bands, tarred with the same brush as Shed Seven (undeservedly) they were largely dismissed as Oasis wannabes. |
| But whilst Oasis were busy trying to become the new Beatles, Heavy Stereo had their sights set on something considerably more glam. |
| Indeed, were Heavy Stereo to release this album again today, it would sit much more easily alongside the Darkness and the Libertines than it did with the Manics and Babybird. |
