Name that band

Manchester, UK band mural identification. On a recent trip to Manchester I came across this image of a band on a wall on High St near Thomas St. I'm curious as to the name of the band. Here is a link to the google streetview which, unfortunately, shows a different mural.

Best answer: It's not a band but a series of unrelated musicians. The first two musicians (from the left) are Barney from New Order and Graham Coxon from blur The original image was for Converse trainers. You can see a variant of it here.

Response by poster: Brilliant. I knew those more hip, edgy and erudite than myself would know the answer. Thanks.
