And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. In 2002, Oasis released “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” as the second single from their fifth studio album. The song became widely recognizable and enjoyed cover versions by various artists.
2. The Enemy’s track duration is notably short, just 2 minutes and 39 seconds. A concise blast of pop/rock captured within their debut offering.
3. Jam, a British comedy series by Chris Morris, inspired “The Gush”. The title and concept owe their origins to a particular sketch from this show.
4. “Paint Your Target” was the lead single from Fightstar’s *Grand Unification*. Released in 2005, it marked the band’s debut chart entry.
5. “Found” by Span reached number 14 on the Norwegian singles chart. A respectable position that highlighted the band’s early potential.
6. Philip G. Atwell directed Simple Plan’s Los Angeles-shot video. Known for his work with notable artists, the music video matched the song’s dramatic tone.
7. The Donnas’ “Who Invited You” did not feature on the Need for Speed: Underground soundtrack. However, it graced several other high-energy soundtracks.
8. Stephen Street, famed for collaboration with iconic bands, produced the gritty Courteeners track. His work amplifies the song’s lyrical punch.
9. Black History Month inspired the title choice for Death From Above 1979’s song, though it lacked direct lyrical ties to history.
10. Elliott Minor’s “The White One Is Evil” entered the UK Singles Chart at number 47 in July 2008. Its brief chart action mirrored that of many indie releases.
11. McFly’s UK CD single featured a cover of “Help!” by The Beatles. Evidently, Fab Four nostalgia remains a recurring band theme.
12. The Dead 60s performed “Loaded Gun” in Paris, France, on 3 October 2005. Capturing their energetic essence, it was included in their Black Sessions.
