The Bodines were short-lived, not that longevity means anything necessarily, but they had something extraordinary that captured and helped create the indie music zeitgeist of that particular time. They were really young too, and had only just left 6th form when they emerged - this was where I first knew them. You're dead right about the anthology and that they don't deserve to be forgotten. Another band who spring to mind in this respect and who were also signed by Play Hard are the Liverpool group Kit. They had a lot less exposure than the Bodines, but certainly fall into the category of "almost made it". It's a capricious and fickle business, all right.
