This is really interesting to watch. Within two years of this interview the industry had practically killed these three young women. Annie was exhausted and a wreck. Whilst Justine and Donna were both strung out junkies (Justine’s own words) So it’s sad seeing them here both on the verge of greatness and self destruction at the same time
Same happened to Blur and lots of bands in the 90s. Media and the industry is ruthless when it comes to you selling albums and charts, they clearly overworked their bands for money, and the final result was addiction, fall outs and disbandment. I am pretty sure their labels knew about the addictions and fights, but as soon as you become prominent, you just become another sum of money. Sad that art and talent gets misused this way :(
@@kamilyakadyr7063 Well said. Lots of individuals were utterly destroyed by the 90s scene. The media pressure and the influx of cheap heroin and coke was too much for a lot of people in the industry. The likes of Elastica and Blur were lucky. They at least came out of it alive. I remember reading an article in the dying days of Brit Pop saying how many people thought that Cocaine was the drug of choice for the elite stars of the era,when in fact it was Heroin. Everything thing I’ve seen in the past 20+ years supports this statement. Makes you wonder just how much great talent was lost and destroyed in a few short years. Many lives wrecked by money company greed.
Wow. This is actually pretty cool. Hearing these chicks before they made it big, you´ll notice how humble and authentic they seem. It´s quite wonderful actually, I really, really love Elastica (I wouldn´t be posting this on an obscure video if I wasn´t lol... No offense, mate), they´re, sound, lyrics and style were different from the other Britpop bands, Justine being the reason behind that. Her brilliance has gone quite underrates and forgotten in recent years, it´s sad to see, because this chick brought so much to the table of Britpop, let alone music, that I have yet to see today. I´m not explaining myself that well, as you can see, this just purely an observational feeling I get from this wonderful band, you understand. Lol. Anyways, Elastica was the first Britpop band I was introduced to and still remains my favourite - even after being a witness to the powerhouse greats such as Oasis, Blur, Suede, Oasis, Pulp, Oasis... And, Oasis. Also, this lot was one of a handful of British groups in the Britpop scene that were girls (or mostly consisted of girls), so with that, you get this interesting perspective on their lyrics and meanings of each song. I´m a 19-year-old boy simp, and hearing the subject matter of Stutter was something I have yet to hear again. Beautifully constructed lyrics, with originality and finesse only seen during the Britpop scene. Brilliant! Also, I love every one of these beautiful, badass, cool chicks! Justine is the front lady of the band, the leader, and sole coordinator for the direction of the songs, so as such, she takes care of most of the interviews. She was the heart and mastermind behind the lyrics and the style of the songs in general, and with a distinct look (You can´t really see it here, as she isn´t wearing her iconic, bold short hair and tomboyish clothes) from the rest of the other chicks during the whole scene, it wasn´t hard to see that she had something different and special to contribute to the universal art that is music. She was really hot, too... Damn, she was beautiful. Donna was the baby-faced chick it seems, but you wouldn´t think so with her monstrously hardcore guitar riffs. She was a paralleled brilliant lyricist in and of herself, and had a similar tomboyish look to Justine's which created this synergy that could only work between those two! Donna was perfect for the band and contributes greatly to their iconic sound. Attractive too... very attractive. And my favorite member of the whole band... Annie Holland. Soft-spoken, mysterious and fashionable must be my kryptonite for a woman... Don´t @ me. Anyway, Annie definitely had the most fashionable and consistent look out of everyone else, no one rocks black and grey like this chick here. She was the silent of the bunch (I´ve actually never heard her speak, in the flesh at least and not via radio. Ever. I didn´t think she could speak at all! So, hearing her now after the many years I´ve known Elastica is... a really weird feeling actually) as I´m sure most bassists are - introverts. Pfft! Wait, I´m introverted... Maybe that´s why I like her so much. Anyhow, speaking of bassist, Annie was a natural herself, her bass riffs are pretty hard to hear (tell me if you´ve heard that one before), as many bass players' sounds are flushed out from the drums and the guitars and the singing and the freaking song itself! #EmpathyForBassists. But when you do hear it, it´s really nice actually. Ah, Annie, she´s so reserved compared to the rest of the members. Displaying a colder color palette of her clothes really intertwines with her personality and role as a bassist - calm, reserved and mysterious - but a beautiful badass among the lands! I guess I just have a soft-spot for bassists, hmm. Why was this so long, you say? Because, I talk too much and I really, really love Elastica! They had a different sound from the others and a cast of characters that are unique and brilliant in every way, it´s easy to see why they were so beloved not only in Britpop but in the culture of music itself. They truly have stood the test of time. Thanks for the video, man, it means a lot. ANNIE I LOVE YOU xD
Its so cringe looking back at this post. God I've changed so much in two years. I can't believe I posted this... sound like a freaking fanboy.. soyboy, more appropriately. Eck!
Justine: ‘influences were Wire, The Stranglers and The Fall, and people were turning up saying I like Suede, and I was like, well, I’ve had it up to here with Brett and that Suede’
Gary Crowley, the Beat; I loved that show. Still remember the interview with Richard Ashcroft and his advice to young musicians: "Pick up a guitar and aspire to be great." I also discovered my all-time love Guided By Voices first hearing Motor Away on it. Formative :-)
You say "fashion and hair [styles]", but these were just people wearing clothes they bought because they fit with haircuts they were probably just familiar with. Believe it or not, there was a time when not every visual thing about "famous" people was focus-tested and homogenized to all hell.
@@iggypopisgod9however that may be their tunes suck as much as possible & this lot made up new words to Wire & played it in a different key & recorded & were very impressed with themselves for it. People dip into other sounds all the time, butthole surfers did it often, just for who knows, definitely not to impress people with, they have plenty of melodies up their sleeves.
@@deepfriedinkelvin It's quite a big subject, I think. But a short answer, from my perspective, would be that the British accent has become lazier, more global, and less refined - having been influenced by the tendency for the population pool to be less sociable and less expressive due to societal changes (social media, globalisation, American cultural imports, more time spent in isolation rather than in public, etc). I believe that people of earlier generations, in videos like this, typically have a better vocabulary, are much more softly spoken, and in my opinion have more style and elegance in their culture.
@@invtrk1046 thanks! I can't quite put my finger on it and what caused this change, but the accents on this video vs. nowadays are softer as you say and more comprehensible to me, a non-native speaker.

@Stephen Greenhorn Oooooooooooh get ‘er 🤣🤣🤣
U put it perfectly. On the verge on greatness and destruction 💯
Britpop was a brief drug fuelled binge of indie guitars. But it was good while it lasted. Them the spice girls came along and delivered the comedown
Thanks for posting this! It popped up on my TH-cam feed. Made me really happy to see it.
You're welcome! A few other interviews with you on my channel. And thank you for the music!
Justine you rock! I just wish Elastica were around now, still a thrill finding and enjoying your music none the less.
No way ! Not the real JF.... if it is .... reunion yeah ?
It's not really Justine Frischmann you absolute nutters.
everytime I see them I just smile. Jesus, they were so shiny, free and incredible beautiful
privileged
I knew Justine's dad. Never met Justine herself, but quite enjoyed her music.

Aw that's really sweet. You're a sweet kid, in love with a girl from 1993. No irony here, thanks your mini-essay of devotion.
Thank you for your passion.
Its so cringe looking back at this post. God I've changed so much in two years. I can't believe I posted this... sound like a freaking fanboy.. soyboy, more appropriately. Eck!

Justine Deserves more respect for what she has done for the UK Music Industry❤
Hahaha, that intro sounded like something from The Fast Show!
Niiiice.
Justine: ‘influences were Wire, The Stranglers and The Fall, and people were turning up saying I like Suede, and I was like, well, I’ve had it up to here with Brett and that Suede’
Suede are the best!
Talented, sexy ladies! Thanks for posting this.
Gary Crowley, the Beat; I loved that show. Still remember the interview with Richard Ashcroft and his advice to young musicians: "Pick up a guitar and aspire to be great." I also discovered my all-time love Guided By Voices first hearing Motor Away on it. Formative :-)
Gary has weller to thank for his career .. good on him ... a true music fanatic
Annie's love
I'd forgotten Gary Crowley. Which was nice.
looks like it was shot yesterday from the fashion and the hair.
You say "fashion and hair [styles]", but these were just people wearing clothes they bought because they fit with haircuts they were probably just familiar with.
Believe it or not, there was a time when not every visual thing about "famous" people was focus-tested and homogenized to all hell.
@@BoozyBeggar it wasnt the dark ages, magazines, tv, media existed haha.
Justine is on the Mt. Rushmore of British rock IMO.
Found it funny how Donna and Annie shared tea 😭😭
Vodka *
when you could smoke cigarettes in an interview.... those were the days
This band is very much like the Strokes
Strokes much better musicians
@@iggypopisgod9 definitely , love the strokes
I don't really see it.
The strokes?!
@@iggypopisgod9however that may be their tunes suck as much as possible
& this lot made up new words to Wire & played it in a different key & recorded & were very impressed with themselves for it.
People dip into other sounds all the time, butthole surfers did it often, just for who knows, definitely not to impress people with, they have plenty of melodies up their sleeves.
From weller to elastica... Gary sure made a career out of being a music fan
derrek and brett
Is it me or have accents changed a lot since the 90s?
I agree, its gotten lazier i think
could you elaborate? I'm not a native English speaker and I love reading about aspects of language that have changed with time!

@@deepfriedinkelvin they sound the same,really
No make up, big fake hair or fake tan 😲
Theres probably a bit of makeup, who cares though.
wow, just stumbled on this, they were so shit back then, Justin had a shite voice recorded and worse live, look now can you listen to them?
I hate the way Justine pronounces the letter 'S'.
nothing cool about smoking them cancer sticks.
