Scouting for Girls are the worst shit ever

good lord on the razz at 10.30 am

I've sounded more cheeky and irrepresible than these cunts on a wet Monday morning in February with a 3-day hangover.

Raw Challops

is yungblut NRQ?

Every single song is exactly the same yet still as someone has already said, shitter than the first and I cannot stand the pianists face. Plus the glamour model that appeared in that first vid must have fallen on hard times (joke somewhere) to be convinced that being in their vid would lead to more fame.

I hate everything I hear from this act.

And just when you think..

Every single song is exactly the same yet still as someone has already said, shitter than the previous

.. has to stop somewhere...

I Wish I Was James Bond

the high bits sung in the chorus just... fucking... drive... me... mad.

Date-Rape Indie at it's finest.

i don't even think there's much dating here

sounds feasible.. whats date rape indie?

This is a bit like hating on Coldplay or Phil Collins by now isn't it?

Kaiser Chiefs, SfG, anyone who stands up to play piano while wearing a pale Fred Perry.

Date-Rape Indie at it's finest.

Suggest their record company use this quote to promote their next release

No, far more stalker-pop.

I diarrhea'ed all over the Coldplay thread about them. I had no idea they were quite so bad. Honestly, I know that ILM will get it collective knickers in a twist over anything, but...

They're like a blander, more insipid, more mediocre version of Maroon 5 - and I didn't think that was possible!

Coldplay are better. Collins is a LOT better.

KC and SfG are way worse than Coldplay or PCollins.

That's Mick Talbot had it then (xxxxxp).

But nowhere near as bad as Elbow (xxp).

...and I'm not even going to get started on how the phrase "date rape indie" is possibly more offensive than the aesthetic content of their music. >:-(

Hey have you ever noticed Alanis Morrissette doesn't even know what irony is etc etc?

lol rape

I've just rung up the Daily Mail. 1000 words by AN Wilson in tomorrow's edition.

Well that's the suggest ban clicked about 49 more times, then.

whoa this thread took off since i last posted

i was merely wondering what it'd be like to actually date a Scouting For Girl

quit your daydreamin melon head

^lolled at this

Geir, have you been editing Wikipedia again? Also, can someone who knows more about music tell if those BPMs are right. They seem awfully fast.

She's So Lovely is pretty quick.

Not quick enough

I know I shouldn't laugh but...

'Anyone who stands up to play a piano wearing pale Fred Perry'
This makes me think of that film 'This Is England'. Y'know what I mean?
Anyway yeah they are pure shite but the worst thing ever is that someone keeps buying their records, I can almost comprehend why people are buying the Ting Tings (but only in a really abstract way) otherwise I don't get it. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS THE SAME.

Track listing

1. "This Ain't a Love Song"
2. "Little Miss Naughty"
3. "Goodtime Girl"
4. "Famous"
5. "Silly Song"
6. "On the Radio"
7. "Blue as Your Eyes"
8. "Posh Girls"
9. "Take a Chance"
10. "1+1=3"

Just in case any further proof was needed, cunt

Holy fucking shit someone please stop the manufacture of music in the UK right now.

I was trying to think of something for the "LEAST favourite sound" thread, well now I done found it.

So I was trolling Youtube comments one bored day, and d'you know which band have really angry, defensive fans? It's Scouting for Girls. (NB NON-BRITISHES - DON'T WORRY YOU'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING)

Anyhoo, here's the Channels of a great bunch of lads who like to threaten random internet pseudonyms with violence and sexual assault.

‘The Light Between Us’ is an album full of love songs recorded in 10 studios across the world with 5 producers, and has been 2 years in the making. Roy Stride comments on the beginning of the recording process saying: "We wanted to make an album with a concept behind it, we tried but the songs were rubbish, so we decided to write an album of singles instead!”

The eight months Scouting For Girls spent in the studio also produced some surprises. The album’s beautiful title track is a startlingly sparse ballad that lasts just over a minute, includes two great train metaphors (“There’s a light in this tunnel/And I think it’s a train” is one) and shows a new, soulful side to Stride’s vocal. The singer’s favourite song is album closer 'Make This One Last', a stunning, strings-soaked ballad that proves SFG can do tender slow songs without sounding soppy.

Best friends Roy, Greg and Pete have a plan to kickstart the British summer with their new single 'Summertime In The City'. A classic Scouting For Girls smash it is three minutes of boisterous pop, witty lyrics and a chorus built for chanting back celebrating good-for-the-soul, shorts and shades days with burping brass, Blur-like bass, pounding piano and a hooky demand that it doesn’t rain.

Stride says “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”

dammit i was hoping at least one of these was dead

would've italiced and repeated part of that press release but where the fuck wd you start?

includes two great train metaphors (“There’s a light in this tunnel/And I think it’s a train” is one)
