Woah woah woah woah. My friend just told me about this band. I am MAJORLY impressed with what I'm hearing on myspace. Incredible. Are LCD Soundsystem doing any remixes yet? Wow. I totally need to have this album right now.

The vocals on this "That's Not My Name" remind me of Snatch, which is interesting because I was just thinking of Snatch yesterday.

i like when "that's not my name" comes on in the car; i roll down the windows, turn up the volume and it sounds great

I like Mrs. Ting's taste in headwear, but that doesn't make up for how awful their music is.

Their sound is like an untalented teenage girl being inspired by her boyfriend's description of an Art Brut cover band (that he doesn't know is a cover band).

the best part of that's not my name is when she says mary jo lisa

Weren't these guys "discovered" at Danny from Embrace's club night?

why everyone trying to get all the knife on me this year?
chorus is totally aimed at 20/30something office girls out on a friday night in bridgewater whetherspoons

so I know everyone hates them and whatever but their new album seems to be a ton of fun three songs in

Really? Even the couple people I knew who loved their first one said this new one was terrible.

stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 19 March 2012 16:53 (twelve years ago) link

well it basically sounds like LCD Soundsystem-pastiche with M.I.A. as a vocalist until the fifth track

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Monday, 19 March 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago) link

okay yeah the middle of this peters out DRAMATICALLY

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Monday, 19 March 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago) link

three weeks pass...

these guys were abysmal on fallon last night

crüt, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:06 (twelve years ago) link

my favorite part was when the guitarist switched to drums just so a more talented musician could play the guitar solo

crüt, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:07 (twelve years ago) link

six years pass...

New single is basically drum and bass c.1998. Only they know why.
