fuck me 98 was shite.

it was totally the year of ultrasound though. in the first week of january they came and did a warm up gig in cheltenham before they played the NME show that broke them. by June i was getting ABSOLUTELY DRENCHED at glasto and loving every second of their set, and by the end of the year they'd put the alBUM out, it was rubbish and everyone forgot about them, great career trajectory, there.
