For years I have had a song at the back of my mind called, in a not terribly subtle drugs reference, "Mary Warner" or something like that. It was on one of the free CDs they used to give away with Q magazine.
The other day I did some research, finding a page on Discogs that lists all the free discs the magazine has given away.
And there it was on Hello! Discover The Best New Music Of 1997: Mary Wana by the Nicotines.
It still sounds good today, though very much of its era.
The Nicotines came from Oxford. The band was composed of brothers Mike and Ralph/Raph (de) Albuquerque and the drummer 'J', who they met "in a hospital ward after an all night party". They were signed on London Records.
That's the wrong band (it's not "The Nicoteens", but "The Nicotines").

Thanks Anon. I have let you write the last paragraph.
