yeah but everything sounds like something else these days. And yes the press killed this band commercially, yet BRMC, the Strokes and the White Stripes survived the 'New Rock Revolution' - each one ripping off the Jesus and Mary Chain, Television and Led Zep respectively.

I stopped reading the NME around that time because as a budding music fan you just weren't getting the whole picture, especially in this day and age where any 'movement' in youth culture is entirely contrived by the press and is a re-hash of some past innovation (nu-rave for example).
