Dodgy Vinyl Records
Dodgy were never taken seriously. Then again, they never wanted to be. As the clowns of Brit-pop, Dodgy carved out a niche with their infectious, goofy punk-pop that alternately sounded like the early Who and the Stone Roses. While they had a number of hit singles in the U.K., highlighted by "Staying Out for the Summer," their quirky British humour prevented them from landing an American record deal for several years. Nevertheless, Dodgy were able to maintain a devoted cult following into the late '90s, as they kept turning out catchy, silly power pop tunes.
