They're awesome - I got 4 tracks off their myspazz - I think from the wizard of ahhs ep

They got good reviews at CMJ. Downloaded a track, but am yet to give it a listen. Will report back!

Yeah, they're pretty good I reckon.

sound decent, but i read their live show leaves a lot to be desired

what style of music do they play ?

i like them!

Dodgy name

Sadly already been made use of by NME.com...

oh really ?

''the next arcade fire'' is stretching it a bit, but i'd rate them above cut off your hands..

Pitchfork gave the EP 8.somethink i think.. I don't mind it.. Didn't totally grab me by the nuts either..

I didnt really dig what I heard a while back, but this thread reminds me to have a second listen on the way home tonight.

I like it, but ive played it to a few friends whose opinion i usually disregard and and they liked it too? Apparently there black kids in the band. Anyone confirm or deny

the singer's black, don't know about the others

I might give them a listen soon.

i likes them. the arcade fire comparison is valid (kinda anthemic shouty stuff that sounds like it was recorded in an aircraf hanger) but they also have a shitload of early cure in there too (the singer does his best robert smith on all the tracks on the EP). will be interested to see if they have enough ideas for the full length format but so far so great.

garbage

I had another listen. I don't like it.

Sounds like The Arcade Fire for people who like Architecture in Helsinki.

I listened to the teach your boyfriend to dance...l etc song.

It was okay.

Blake is spot on, I think!

i like em, theres one song that sounds a bit like Bowie. ''i've underestimated my charm''

I don't mind the first 2 songs on that EP but I got bored pretty quickly.

I'm going to see them...they're playing with Cut Copy.

I am enjoying them at this early stage. No escaping those Arcade Fire comparisons though - totally valid.

So that's them?
Months behinds I know, but I just heard them

A Fat Bob Smith imitator with annoying shouty AiH-style yoiks in the background?
If I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You? is any indication, I'm steering well clear

Saw them this week and they were great! Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed. Some fantastic tunes in there.

And then Bernard Butler came on stage, which was too good for words.

Me too. Terribly annoying music.

I think 'Hurricane Jane' and '.....Dance' is a great single. Really good pop band.

he sounds like a cat being strangled.

So ''I'm Not Going To Teach...'' has a clip now.

Considering it was 8 months ago that we first heard this, is it a bit late to whip this out as their first single?

I guess this is what happens with downloads.

i quite liked the wizard of ahhs thing but this album is very average

The fact that it's pretty much the Wizard of Ahhhs with 5 more songs?

;)

Fair enough if you aren't into it at all, but that wasn't the point I was making of course.

My point was more a little dig at someone saying they liked the EP, but didn't like an extended version of the EP.

i think i remember them from 20 years ago.

Just on Letterman. Rubbish.

Dull cutesy indie rock. As if there's not enough of that shit already.
