Glaswegian band that has been garnering a lot of blog attention and critical acclaim of late. Kinda happy, mid 90s indie pop style, but I get a tinge of Wolf Parade and bands of that ilk in them too. Anybody else into them? Quite good. Got an EP out at the moment called Sticking Fingers Into Sockets.
i was trying to download that ep on slsk, but there were 500 people in the queue in front of me.
i guess they're getting some hype at the moment?
You throw parties, we throw knives
!! I hate their name (is it meant to mean something??) and the name of most of the songs but I don't mind them, they're quite fun
Its funny, because they're on tour with You Say Party! We Say Die! right now. Wonder if there is some weird song/band/time/space/continuum cross-over thing going on. Or not...
Hmm...I think they're OK in a slightly irritating way. Kind of like a highly-charged AiH. I like the ideas behind the songs more than the actual songs.
They've signed to Arts & Crafts in North America, haven't they?
Not sure, but they're on Wichita in the UK.
Yep yep yep...Oh, and they are on A+C in the US.
Yep...
Didn't really dig what i heard.
They're not from Glasgow.
They'll be released on Cooperative/ Shock here. Album's due at the end of the year.
Silly me, I did mean to say Cardiff. Honestly... :P
I've loved what I've heard - just the kind of up-beat cutesy jump-around pop that I like. Esp. 'you me dancing'.
glaswegian? as a word even?
very much highly charged aih, makes me feel like doing this to something irritatingly happy
Yes Glaswegian is a word. But alas they're not from there, so I retract that statement.
Got my CD today, and I love it. Still, too much listening to this sugar-coated pop and I would probably want to kill a bunny rabbit too..
High rotation for the last three weeks. Apparently I can't get enough of the sugar-coated pop. Love it...
vid for the International tweexcore underground
these guys are so hip it hurts...
They're totally awesome! I was listening to their EP again last night (well actually the 6 songs you've been able to download which is essentially the EP), love it to bits. Even after a year still so infectiously good. But then I do have a poster for The Go! Team for my icon so I would like these guys. They're obsessed with Pavement and you can hear it.
You just can't deny ''It's you, it's me, it's dancing!''
I like the new song. I hate the lead singers haircut, even though it gives faith to all us strawberry blonders that hipness will not elude us forever...
god, the E.P is excellent!

This album has really grown on me, its just a good fun pop album with some very funny lyrics. I like it, though still not quite as much as the EP.
I'm with the haters on this one - utterly annoying band.
Bound to polarise opinion. Just too much too muchness for some.
I think Death to Los Campesinos! is my favourite track on the album to tell the truth.
They seem well aware of their haters.
I think mine is This Is How You Spell, ''HAHAHA....etc etc'''.
My Year In Lists is fucking fantastic. Man, I don't think I've come across one person yet who has unreservedly liked this band as much as me. The majority I've spoken to hate hate HATE it, and the rest are slightly into it/slightly irritated. Oh well.
Didn't think anyone cared. :P
i like my year in lists the best, ,
Oh, someone does. :-)
I just opened my playlist and it opened to ''C is the Heavenly Option''. I appreciate.
I <3 Los Campesinos!
This is both very cute and somewhat disturbing. I like the enthusiasm of these kids. Maybe I love them because I have the mind of a pubescent teenage girl...
For someone reason I think this band has slipped past my defences- CUNCE! Kinda like 'em.
New album in October! Woohoo!
So, the new album is out. Is it getting a release in Aus? Anyone?
Bueller?
my fave band of 2008...
set up to get them to oz
filterfeed, best welsh band since sfa? i will make you listen to them if it kills me. it'll probably kill me.
Apparently the new album is getting one pressing worldwide, and then that's it. It's also a glossy box with a CD, a DVD and some badges.
worst band in the history of music
Don't be a hater anok. There has been a lot of music in the whole history of music,
